Night Guards for Kids in Houston, TX

Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common issue that tends to happen at night while patients are asleep. However, night guards can help patients alleviate symptoms of bruxism by creating a barrier between your teeth that protects them from grinding-related damage. Depending on the severity of the case, night guards can be made from several different materials with varying degrees of softness.

To get fitted for a night guard, you will receive impressions or digital scans of your teeth and gums that we will use to custom-craft a mold that will then be sent to the lab. Your night guard will be created to match your exact specifications and measurements for a perfect fit. Night guards ease tension in your jaw, alleviating the painful headaches and preventing dental damage caused by clenching and grinding. Night guards can keep your smile healthy and help you get the restful sleep you need.

What are Night Guards for Kids?

Night guards are custom-made dental appliances designed to protect your child's teeth from the effects of grinding or clenching during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. Night guards create a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing damage to tooth enamel, reducing jaw discomfort, and promoting a better night’s sleep. At Memorial Children’s Dentistry, we offer custom-fitted night guards specifically designed for children to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Benefits of Night Guards for Kids

Protects Teeth from Wear and Tear

Night guards help prevent the excessive wear of tooth enamel caused by grinding and clenching, which can lead to dental issues such as sensitivity and fractures.

Reduces Jaw Pain

By cushioning the teeth, night guards reduce the tension on the jaw muscles, alleviating pain and discomfort often associated with bruxism.

Prevents Headaches

Night guards help minimize the muscle strain caused by grinding, which can reduce the occurrence of morning headaches in children.
