How do night guards help protect teeth?
A dental night guard creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, helping limit direct tooth-to-tooth contact during grinding or clenching. It may help protect teeth from wear, but it does not necessarily stop grinding or treat its underlying cause. Persistent jaw pain, damaged teeth or ongoing grinding should be assessed by a dentist.
How do I choose a dental night guard?
Look for a guard intended for night-time teeth grinding, rather than a sports mouthguard. Check the manufacturer's sizing, fitting instructions, age restrictions and suitability warnings. A guard should fit securely and comfortably without affecting breathing.
