Mouthguards
Many people subconsciously grind their teeth in times of stress or during sleep. When coming together, the strong force of the teeth and jaws can cause grinding and microfractures, resulting in prematurely worn teeth.
Our doctors at Floss and Smile Advanced Dental Care offer mouthguards (also called night guards) to protect teeth from becoming prematurely worn or damaged. For nighttime use only, these professional mouthguards can prevent painful jaws, tooth damage and even TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) issues.
WHY A PROFESSIONAL MOUTHGUARD?
We use several varieties of high quality mouthguards, depending on the needs of the patient. Every mouthguard is custom-fitted for your mouth, to offer the best comfort. Using store-bought boil-and-bite mouthguards can result in a bulky fit, and inferior materials that could cause bite problems.
The right quality mouthguard will not only protect your teeth, but your peace of mind. Request a consultation from our dentists at Floss and Smile Advanced Dental Care, Andheri East, Mumbai for this protective solution today!
How do I care for my mouthguard?
To care for your mouthguard:
- Rinse your mouthguard with cold water or with a mouth rinse, and/or clean it with toothpaste and a toothbrush, before and after each use. Do not use denture cleaners for a soft mouthguard.
- Clean the mouthguard occasionally in cool, soapy water, and rinse it thoroughly.
- Place the mouthguard in a firm container to store or transport it. Keep the mouthguard away from pets such as dogs and cats that can destroy the appliance.
- Protect the mouthguard from high temperatures – such as hot water, hot surfaces, or direct sunlight – to help prevent changing its shape.
- Check the mouthguard occasionally for general wear. If you find holes or tears in it, or if it becomes loose or causes discomfort, replace it.
- Bring the mouthguard to each regularly scheduled dental visit to have your dentist exam it.
