Night Guard

Night guards are appliances that patients wear while sleeping. They are required when night-time grinding has become so severe that it affects the health of the teeth.

How do I care for my night guard?

To extend the life of your night guard, follow these simple tips:

After use, wash with mild soap and warm (not hot) water
Store in a container that has ventilation holes to allow the appliance to completely dry
Do not expose to extreme hot or cold temperatures
Do not bend
Remember to bring it with you to your routine check ups
