Many people are afflicted with bruxism, which causes them to grind their teeth during sleep. Teeth grinding can damage enamel, wear down your teeth, cause jaw pain, and irritate your gums.

To protect your teeth, dentists recommend a night guard – a plastic barrier that fits between your teeth, similar to a mouth guard. Night guards are custom fitted for comfort and to allow proper breathing. They are extremely durable and usually last for up to 10 years. Dr. Seini encourages patients who suspect they are grinding their teeth to set up an appointment with her as soon as possible.
