Are you waking up with a sore jaw or frequent headaches? You might be grinding your teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism. At Breeze Dental in Canal Winchester, OH, Dr. Julia Hill offers custom-fitted night guards designed to protect your teeth and alleviate discomfort. These guards are crafted to fit your mouth perfectly, providing a comfortable barrier between your teeth to prevent wear and tear. Not only do they protect your dental health, but they also contribute to a more restful night's sleep by reducing tension in the jaw muscles.
Night guards are essential for anyone suffering from bruxism. Without intervention, teeth grinding can lead to serious dental issues, such as tooth fractures, enamel loss, and even gum recession. Beyond dental health, night guards can significantly improve your quality of life. By reducing the strain on your jaw muscles, they help alleviate headaches and jaw pain. Additionally, wearing a night guard can prevent the noise associated with grinding, allowing both you and your partner to enjoy uninterrupted sleep.
Bruxism affects about 10% of adults and up to 15% of children.

Night guards serve as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing them from grinding against each other. This protection is crucial because the constant friction caused by grinding can lead to chipped or cracked teeth, which may require costly dental repairs.
Many people who grind their teeth wake up with a sore jaw or even experience pain throughout the day. A night guard helps to relieve this discomfort by cushioning the jaw muscles and reducing the stress placed on them.
Grinding your teeth at night can lead to restless sleep, both for you and anyone sharing your bed. The noise and the physical discomfort can disrupt your sleep cycle, leaving you feeling tired and irritable during the day. By wearing a night guard, you minimize these disturbances, allowing for a more restful and rejuvenating sleep.
Your journey to better oral health begins with a comprehensive consultation at Breeze Dental. During this visit, Dr. Julia Hill will assess your oral health, discuss your symptoms, and determine if a night guard is the right solution for you. She will take into account any specific concerns you may have and provide personalized recommendations to ensure optimal results.
Once a night guard is deemed necessary, the next step involves taking precise impressions or digital scans of your teeth. These impressions are crucial for creating a custom-fitted guard that aligns perfectly with your dental structure. This personalized fit ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness, as a poorly fitting guard can cause additional discomfort or fail to provide adequate protection.
When your custom night guard is ready, you'll return to Breeze Dental for a fitting appointment. Dr. Hill will ensure that the guard fits snugly and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments to optimize its performance. She will also provide guidance on how to care for your night guard, ensuring its longevity and effectiveness in protecting your teeth and improving your sleep quality.
