While your teeth rank as some of the strongest and most resilient parts of the body, grinding your teeth can cause enamel to break down, making it more susceptible to developing a range of common oral health problems like cavities, chips, and cracks. Patients who grind their teeth at night can also experience frequent jaw pain and headaches. Unfortunately, many patients don’t realize they grind their teeth as the habit usually occurs at night while asleep. For patients who experience the unconscious habit of grinding their teeth at night, family dentist, Dr. Kazemi, can create a custom night guard to help protect the health of their teeth.

A night guard is a retainer-like device that’s worn over a patient's teeth to prevent the stress and strain caused by teeth grinding. Since every patient has their own bite pattern, Dr. Kazemi wil craft a custom guard that will comfortably sit over your teeth without causing any discomfort or changes to your nightly sleep routine. Don’t let teeth grinding ruin your smile. Contact our Colorado Springs office to schedule a night guard consultation with Dr. Kazemi today!
