Gum Care & Periodontal Treatment

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a common condition that many people are unaware of, especially when it occurs during sleep. Over time, this habit can lead to tooth wear, enamel damage, sensitivity, jaw pain, and even headaches. If left untreated, it can also affect the bite and overall dental health.

At Dr Aravind’s Kovalam Multispeciality Dental Centre, we provide custom-made night guards designed specifically to fit your teeth. These appliances act as a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, helping to reduce the pressure and damage caused by grinding and clenching.

Unlike over-the-counter or ready-made guards, custom night guards offer:

Precise fit and enhanced comfort
Better durability and long-term use
Improved effectiveness in protecting teeth

Because of their accurate fit, patients are more likely to wear them regularly, which is essential for preventing ongoing damage.

Night guards are especially beneficial for patients experiencing:

Jaw pain or stiffness (TMJ discomfort)
Frequent headaches, especially in the morning
Worn, chipped, or sensitive teeth

This is a simple yet highly effective preventive solution that can significantly reduce long-term dental complications. With consistent use, night guards help preserve tooth structure, improve comfort, and protect your overall oral health.
