Night Guards

When a patient clenches his or her teeth this action can erode tooth enamel making them prone to sensitivity. Grinding can also wear down teeth increasing the risk of costly dental procedures down the line to fix the problem. There are several ways to alleviate symptoms of bruxism, including night guards. Dr. Kathleen Falsey, DDS may suggest one after a diagnosis is reached.


A night guard is an appliance that is worn throughout the night to alleviate pressure that is put on the jaw. Dr. Kathleen Falsey, DDS creates custom night guards that are designed for the patient’s mouth and his or hers only. Regardless of what is causing your bruxism, the night guard will prevent you from grinding teeth during sleep and protect them from dental damage.
