An In-Depth Look at Night Guards
Night guards in Forest Hills, New York, are custom-fitted oral appliances that protect your teeth from grinding or clenching while you sleep. This habit can occur at any time but is often nocturnal, and can lead to tooth damage, jaw pain and sleep disruption. Night guards are designed to manage bruxism, preventing damage and helping you to enjoy better oral health and more restful sleep.
The process for getting a night guard begins with a dental examination. Dr. Daniel Babadzhanov will assess your oral health, discuss your symptoms and take impressions of your teeth. These molds are then sent to a dental lab, where your custom night guard is crafted.
