Night Guards Near You

Night guards are specially designed mouthpieces that you wear while you sleep. They act as a cushion to guard your teeth against grinding and clenching, commonly referred to as bruxism. Key Dental Clinic is here to be the source for custom-made night guards near you to help prevent your teeth from grinding against each other and easing the tension on your jaw muscles.

What Issues Do Night Guards Help With?

  • Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – Night guards safeguard your teeth against the effects of grinding.
  • Jaw Pain and Tension – They help alleviate jaw pain and tension associated with clenching.
  • Headaches – By reducing muscle strain, night guards can help prevent morning headaches.
  • TMJ Disorders – They can provide relief from symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
  • Tooth Sensitivity – Protecting enamel from grinding reduces tooth sensitivity over time.
