Protection for Your Precious Teeth from Our Colorado Springs, CO Dental Practice
You only get one set of teeth once you’re an adult. While teeth replacement options such as dental implants offer new hope to many patients, you still want to do everything you can to preserve your natural teeth. Naturally, this means good dental hygiene, but it also means protecting your teeth with custom nightguards and mouth guards from Blue Springs Family Dental.
Nightguards
Many people suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding during sleep, and don’t even realize it. This constant wear on your teeth can lead to chips, cracks, and jaw problems. However, a custom-made nightguard from Dr. Coughlin can protect your mouth and jaw from the effects of bruxism. Just put your nightguard in place when you go to bed, and it will absorb the pressure of nocturnal teeth grinding.
Contact us at (719) 394-3444 if you have worn teeth, awaken with jaw pain or a headache, or think you may grind your teeth at night. We can help.
Mouthguards
Of course, you need a mouthguard if you participate in rough sports like football or wrestling. However, even sports that are supposedly non-contact, like basketball, can lead to accidents that may damage teeth or other oral structures. This is why every athlete, from amateur to professional, should always wear a mouthguard.
“Off the shelf’ mouthguards may seem convenient, but these appliances don’t offer the same strength to protect your teeth as a professionally-fitted mouthguard. Our athletic guards are custom-made just for your mouth, to provide the best fit and the strongest protection for your teeth. Give us a call now at (719) 394-3444 to schedule an appointment for an athletic mouth guard for you or your child.
