Clarenville Dental CareNight Guards - Clarenville, NL
Night guards help protect teeth from overnight grinding and clenching
When patients grind or clench in their sleep, the wear can add up slowly. A night guard is designed to help protect teeth and existing dental work from that repeated pressure.
When Patients Ask About Them
Night guards often come up when there is visible wear, clenching, or tension-related symptoms
Some patients notice flattening or chipping on teeth. Others wake up with jaw tension, soreness, or a sense that they are clenching overnight. In those cases, a night guard can be part of a practical protection plan.

Tooth Protection
The goal is usually prevention: less wear, fewer fractures, and more protection for the work already in your mouth
That is why night guards often matter most before the damage becomes obvious. They are not just about comfort. They are about helping teeth and restorations last longer when grinding or clenching is part of the picture.
