Teeth grinding at night often goes unnoticed but can cause serious damage over time. Kevin Molldrem DDS explains how custom nightguards protect against enamel wear, jaw pain, and even cracked teeth. Unlike store-bought versions, professionally fitted nightguards provide better comfort and durability. Grinding can lead to headaches, TMJ disorders, and tooth sensitivity if untreated. Addressing the problem early prevents costly dental procedures later. If you wake up with sore jaws or notice flattened teeth, a nightguard might be the solution to preserving your smile and overall dental health.
