Night Guards Near You
A number of our patients come into our clinic with a very common complaint of jaw pain and sometimes, headaches. Without realizing it, some of us tend to grind and/or clench our teeth at night during sleep. Clenching or grinding your teeth can place a significant amount of pressure on your teeth and jaw which can result in tooth damage and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Symptoms of grinding or clenching your teeth at night include, waking up in the morning with headaches and/or a sore jaw. Wearing a night guard in Yellowknife when you sleep can help prevent damage to your teeth from the effects of grinding. Your dentist will create a mouth guard using impressions of your teeth.
