A Dental Guard is a protective device worn over the teeth to prevent damage caused by grinding or clenching, a condition known as bruxism. It is typically made from soft or hard plastic and is custom-fitted to the individual's mouth for comfort and effectiveness. These guards can help reduce tooth wear, alleviate jaw pain, and improve sleep quality. They are often recommended by dentists and can be used during the night or throughout the day, depending on the severity of the grinding. Regular use can lead to better oral health and overall well-being.
