Night Guards
Night guards are dental appliances designed to protect your teeth and jaws from the damaging effects of bruxism or teeth grinding, often during sleep. At Canyons Family Dental in Sandy, UT, our experienced dental team provides high-quality night guards that can help protect your teeth and improve your oral health.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the medical term for grinding, gnashing, or clenching your teeth during the day or night while you sleep. This condition can lead to various oral health issues, such as tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and gum disease. If left untreated, bruxism can also cause damage to dental restorations, such as fillings, crowns, and bridges.

They are made from high-quality materials and are crafted to provide optimal protection against bruxism. Our Canyons Family Dental team will take impressions of your teeth and create a customized night guard that fits you perfectly.
Benefits Of Night Guards
Wearing a night guard while sleeping can provide numerous benefits, including:
- Protection against teeth grinding: Night guards can protect your teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism, such as tooth wear, fractures, and chips.
- Pain relief: Night guards can help alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and another bruxism-related discomfort.
- Improved sleep quality: By reducing teeth grinding and associated discomfort, night guards can help improve your sleep quality.
- Improved oral health: Night guards can help protect your dental restorations, such as crowns and bridges, from damage caused by bruxism.
- Long-lasting protection: Custom-made night guards are durable and can last several years with proper care.
How To Care For Your Night Guard?
Properly caring for it is essential to ensure your night guard lasts as long as possible. Here are some tips:
- Clean it daily: Rinse your night guard with cool water and brush it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or toothpaste. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage the night guard.
- Store it properly: Keep your night guard in a clean, dry case when not in use. This will protect it from damage and keep it clean.
- Avoid exposing it to heat: Keep your night guard away from direct sunlight, hot water, and other sources of heat that can cause it to warp or deform.
- Regularly check for wear and tear: Inspect your night guard for signs of wear and tear. If you notice any cracks or damage, bring it to Canyons Family Dental for repair or replacement.
