Sports Guards/TMJ Appliance
With the rise of participation in athletics and youth sporting, our dentists are looking at what their role should be in helping to protect their patients who choose to participate in these activities. Over 5 million teeth are lost annually in sporting activities in the United States. Our Dentists provide custom fit and color appliances to protect teeth from these activities.
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) pain is caused by chronic teeth clenching or teeth grinding — usually due to stress. The way most patients deal with stress and tension is during their sleep where they clench and grind subconsciously. Our dentists provide custom TMJ appliance or night guards to protect and prevent inadvertent damage to their teeth.
