Nightguards for Bruxism – Savannah, GA
Protecting Your Teeth From Harmful Nightly Grinding
Are you a stressed, anxious, or worried person? All of these can harm more than just your mental health—they can also have severe impacts on your teeth by causing dental damage and enamel erosion. When you lay down at the end of the day, all of your stress doesn’t disappear. Instead, it manifests into harmful habits such as teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. According to the American Sleep Association, this condition impacts 10 percent of American adults and about 15 percent of children. The nightly force of gnashing the arches of your teeth together can increase your chances of experiencing a dental emergency and cause you to develop oral health problems. Fortunately, at Compass Dental, Dr. Fana crafts customized nightguards that are specially designed to shield your teeth and facial muscles from strain and force.
