A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance designed to treat bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching that occurs during sleep. It protects your teeth from damage and prevents grinding by creating a barrier between your upper and lower teeth. If you experience symptoms like jaw pain, frequent headaches, or noticeable tooth wear, a night guard may help alleviate these issues and protect your smile. To find out if a night guard is right for you, schedule a visit with our dentist at Peachtree Dunwoody Dental Group by calling (770) 395-7057.
