What Are Night Guards?

Night guards, also known as occlusal guards or bite splints, are custom-made dental appliances worn over the teeth to protect them from the damaging effects of teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching. Bruxism often occurs during sleep and can lead to various dental problems, including tooth wear, fractures, jaw pain, and headaches.

Benefits of Night Guards

Choosing a professionally made night guard offers numerous benefits for your oral health and overall well-being:

Protection from Tooth Damage: Night guards provide a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing the wear and damage caused by grinding and clenching.
Reduction of Jaw Pain: By cushioning the teeth and reducing the pressure from clenching, night guards can alleviate jaw pain and discomfort.
Prevention of Headaches: Night guards can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches associated with bruxism.
Improved Sleep Quality: Reducing the effects of teeth grinding and jaw clenching can lead to a more restful and comfortable sleep.

The Night Guard Procedure

At Oshawa Dental Arts, we take a personalized approach to creating your night guard, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

Initial Consultation: Our dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your symptoms, and determine if a night guard is the right solution for you. We will explain the benefits and answer any questions you may have.
Impressions: Detailed impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fit night guard that fits comfortably and securely.
Fabrication: The impressions are sent to a dental lab, where your night guard is crafted from high-quality materials.
Fitting: Once your night guard is ready, you will return to our office for a fitting. Our dentist will ensure the night guard fits properly and make any necessary adjustments for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

What Are Dental Sport Guards?

Dental sport guards, also known as mouthguards or athletic mouthguards, are protective devices worn over the teeth during sports and recreational activities. They are designed to absorb and distribute the impact forces that can cause dental injuries, such as broken teeth, jaw fractures, and soft tissue injuries.

Benefits of Dental Sport Guards

Using a custom-made dental sport guard offers several advantages for athletes of all ages:

Protection from Injuries: Sport guards help prevent dental injuries, such as chipped or broken teeth, and protect against jaw fractures and soft tissue injuries.
Customized Fit: Custom-made sport guards provide a superior fit compared to over-the-counter options, ensuring better comfort and protection.
Enhanced Performance: A well-fitted sport guard allows athletes to breathe and speak more easily, enhancing overall performance.
Durability: Custom sport guards are made from high-quality materials that offer greater durability and protection.

The Dental Sport Guard Procedure

At Oshawa Dental Arts, we ensure that your dental sport guard is custom-made for optimal protection and comfort. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

Initial Consultation: Our dentist will discuss your sports and activities, assess your dental health, and explain the benefits of a custom sport guard. We will answer any questions and determine the best type of guard for your needs.
Impressions: Detailed impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fit sport guard that fits securely and comfortably.
Fabrication: The impressions are sent to a dental lab, where your sport guard is crafted from high-quality, impact-resistant materials.
Fitting: Once your sport guard is ready, you will return to our office for a fitting. Our dentist will ensure the guard fits properly and make any necessary adjustments for maximum protection and comfort.

Caring for Your Guards

Proper care and maintenance are essential to the longevity and effectiveness of your night guards and sport guards. Here are some tips to help you care for your guards:

Regular Cleaning: Clean your guards after each use with a toothbrush and mild soap or a denture cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Proper Storage: Store your guards in a ventilated container to keep them dry and prevent bacterial growth.
Avoid Heat: Keep your guards away from heat sources, such as hot water or direct sunlight, as heat can warp the material.
Regular Check-Ups: Bring your guards to your regular dental check-ups so our dentist can inspect them for wear and ensure they continue to fit properly.
