The Ultimate Guide To Dental Night Guards At Blu Dental
Protect Your Smile While You Sleep
Safeguarding Your Teeth with Custom Night Guards in Miami Shores
A good night’s sleep is essential for your health and well-being, but for many, it’s also a time when unconscious habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) can cause significant damage to their teeth. At Blu Dental, nestled in the vibrant community of Miami Shores, we specialize in crafting custom dental night guards that provide protection, comfort, and peace of mind. With over 50 years of combined dental expertise in South Florida, our family-owned practice is your go-to destination for safeguarding your smile against the nocturnal nuisances that threaten it.
Why a Night Guard Might Be Your Smile's Nighttime Hero
Teeth grinding and clenching can lead to a host of dental issues, including jaw pain, headaches, and even tooth fractures. A night guard serves as a protective barrier, cushioning your teeth and preventing the wear and tear that comes from these unconscious habits. Here’s why investing in a night guard could be one of the best decisions for your oral health:
- Prevents Tooth Damage: Night guards protect against the wear and chipping caused by grinding.
- Reduces Jaw Strain: By alleviating the pressure on your jaw, a night guard can help prevent TMJ disorders.
- Improves Sleep Patterns: A well-fitted night guard can contribute to a more comfortable and restful sleep.
- Saves Money Long-Term: By preventing damage, night guards can save you from costly dental repairs down the line.

During sleep, it is common for individuals to experience mouth movement. However, for those who suffer from teeth grinding and clenching, this movement may result in grinding against their mouth guard. As a consequence, teeth can become damaged and gums may recede.
Your policy is the determining factor when it comes to coverage. Usually, dental insurance does not provide coverage for items such as sleep-apnea mouth guards or night guards.
Every day after waking up, make sure to rinse your mouth guard with warm water and use a gentle toothbrush and toothpaste to gently brush it. Finally, store the mouth guard in a clean and cool place.
