Night Guards and Sports Guards

Protect Smiles with Night Guards and Sports Guards in London

At Southdale Dental, we offer custom-made night guards and sports guards in London to safeguard your teeth from various damaging forces. Whether you grind your teeth at night or participate in athletic activities, we have the solution to keep your smile safe and healthy.

What are night guards?

Night guards are custom-made mouthpieces worn during sleep to prevent teeth grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism. Bruxism can lead to significant damage, including:

1. Tooth wear and chipping

The constant friction can wear down tooth enamel, leading to sensitivity and potential fractures.

2. Jaw pain and TMJ problems

Bruxism can strain the jaw muscles and joints, causing pain and discomfort.

3. Headaches

The pressure from grinding can trigger headaches and facial pain.

By wearing a night guard, you can create a barrier between your teeth, preventing them from grinding and clenching, alleviating these potential problems.

What are sports guards?

Sports guards are mouthpieces worn during athletic activities to protect your teeth and jaw from injury. They absorb impact and reduce the risk of:

1. Chipped or broken teeth

Contact sports and high-impact activities can easily damage teeth without proper protection.

2. Jaw fractures

A severe impact can fracture the jawbone, requiring extensive treatment.

3. Soft tissue injuries

Sports guards can also protect your lips, cheeks, and tongue from lacerations.

We offer different types of sports guards, including boil-and-bite options for convenience and custom-made guards for optimal protection and comfort.

Benefits of night & sports guards

Night guards and sports guards offer numerous benefits for your oral health and overall well-being:

1. Prevention of tooth damage and wear

Protect your teeth from the harmful effects of grinding, clenching, and sports injuries.

2. Reduced risk of jaw pain and headaches

Alleviate discomfort and pain associated with bruxism and TMJ issues.

3. Improved sleep quality

Night guards can help you sleep more soundly by reducing the noise and discomfort caused by teeth grinding.

4. Enhanced confidence and performance during sports

Feel confident and protected while participating in athletic activities.

Choosing the right guard

The best type of night guard or sports guard depends on your individual needs and preferences. Factors to consider include:

1. Severity of teeth grinding or clenching

For severe bruxism, a custom-made night guard is recommended for optimal protection.

2. Type of sports activity

Different sports require varying levels of protection. High-impact sports benefit from custom-made guards for maximum safety.

3. Comfort and fit

A well-fitting guard is essential for both comfort and effectiveness.
