NIGHT GUARDS SERVICES IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD & TOLUCA LAKE
Did you know that many people unconsciously clench or grind their teeth during the day and even more so while they sleep? This condition, known as bruxism, may not seem like a major concern at first, but over time it can lead to serious issues like TMJ, enamel breakdown, and even tooth loss. At Toluca Advanced Dentistry, we understand the impact of bruxism and offer a solution: night guards.
What are Night Guards?
Night guards are custom-made pieces of durable plastic that act as a cushion for your teeth. Instead of completely stopping the clenching and grinding motions, they work by absorbing the stress, preventing it from affecting your teeth. Crafting a night guard requires careful attention to detail to ensure a proper fit and effectiveness.
If you’re experiencing negative daytime effects from bruxism, a night guard can make a world of difference. While it may require an initial investment, the long-term benefits far outweigh the cost by protecting your mouth from further damage.
