It's been estimated that over half of all adults grind their teeth at night. In addition to discomfort of the jaw and muscles that this can cause, it can also damage your teeth or dental work.

Night guards can help to prevent a number of symptoms and consequences of nighttime grinding or clenching:

• Cracked or chipped teeth
• Teeth sensitive to heat or cold
• Jaw pain (TMJ)
• Headaches
• Popping of the jaw joint

Night guards are molded from a hard durable plastic to fit the shape of your teeth. Dr. Yurovsky takes an impression of your teeth and sends it to a dental lab to create a custom fit guard for you.
