What is a night guard used for?
A night guard is worn while you sleep to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching. It sits between your upper and lower teeth and takes the pressure that would otherwise wear, chip or crack teeth and dental work.
Can a night guard stop teeth grinding?
A night guard may not stop the grinding habit itself, but it can help protect your teeth from wear, chips and damage caused by grinding pressure.
How do I know if I need a night guard?
Common signs are worn, flattened or chipped teeth, tooth sensitivity, a sore or tight jaw in the morning, morning headaches, or a partner hearing you grind. Your dentist can confirm it during an examination.
How is a custom night guard different from a store-bought one?
A custom night guard is made from an impression of your own teeth and checked by your dentist, so it fits your bite. Store-bought guards are generic, so they can feel bulky or loose, which makes them harder to wear every night.
Does health insurance cover a night guard?
Some private health funds pay a rebate for a custom night guard (dental splint), depending on your extras cover. Check with your fund for your rebate. You can claim on the spot with HICAPS at the clinic.
How many appointments does a night guard take?
Usually two. At the first visit your dentist checks your teeth, bite and jaw and takes an impression. At the second, the guard is fitted and you’re shown how to wear, clean and store it.
How do I look after my night guard?
Rinse it after each use, brush it gently with a soft toothbrush and cool water, and keep it dry in its case. Avoid hot water, which can warp it. Bring it to your check-ups so the fit can be checked.
