Customized Mouth Guards in Palm Springs, CA
Mouthguards for Sports
Engaging in competitive or recreational sports without a mouthguard doubles your risk of injury to the teeth or soft tissues. That’s why the American Dental Association encourages the use of mouthguards for over twenty-five different sports. While over-the-counter ‘boil and bite’ mouthguards are cheap, users often complain about a loose fit that reduces effectiveness. With mouthguards, you get what you pay for! Superior protection is only offered by custom-made mouthguards.
At the Tahquitz Dental Group Palm Springs, our process begins with an impression of your teeth which is then used to create a customized mouthguard from strong resin. The final product fits snugly, allowing normal speech and the peace of mind that you are protecting your teeth while enjoying sporting activities. With appropriate care, your mouthguard lasts several sporting seasons.
Mouthguards for Teeth Grinding
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, typically occurs during sleep for most patients. Some individuals experience daytime bruxism due to stress or a temporomandibular disorder. Although treatment varies between individuals, the need to shield your enamel from the detrimental forces caused by jaw clenching and teeth grinding is undeniable!
A customized mouthguard, also referred to as a “nightguard,” is an easy solution to avoid the damage caused by teeth grinding. The guard fits perfectly onto the teeth and should not noticeably alter your speech. Most patients find that wearing the mouthguard regularly is sufficient to stop the bruxing episodes that cause morning jaw pain and headaches.
