Quality Night Guards in Rockville Centre
custom night guard fabricated at the dental office can help
Chronic jaw clenching and grinding one’s teeth is called bruxism.
While it can happen any time of day, it often occurs at night causing an individual to wake up with any number of symptoms including jaw pain, headaches, and sore teeth that may feel loose.
Although, stress and anxiety are the most common causes of bruxism there may be other contributing factors such as a sleep disorder, an abnormal bite, as well as teeth that are missing or poorly aligned.

To alleviate the symptoms of bruxism, wearing a night guard while sleeping is frequently recommended.
This appliance is designed to fit over the teeth and to keep the jaws slightly apart.
Wearing a night guard prevents a number of damaging events, including muscle strain, excessive pressure on the jaw joint (the TMJ), and such dental damage as chipped or cracked teeth resulting from the teeth grinding against each other.
In addition to preventing damage to the soft and hard tissues surrounding the orofacial cavity, a custom night guard fabricated at the dental office can help curb a bruxism habit and give the wearer a better night’s sleep.

I was so satisfied that I contemplated driving back there for dental visits, but I gave the referral a chance and tried Dr Bratt's office. I am happy to say that I could not be more pleased with my decision.
Let's be honest, for most people the dentist office is not a enjoyable experience, but the doctor and staff can have a significant impact on that either in a positive or negative fashion.
Dr. Bratt has such a welcoming demeanor and truly cares for his patients. He takes his time to ensure you are comfortable throughout any procedure. Trish who works the front desk is always friendly and helpful whether on the phone or in person.
Tina and Amy (his hygienists) are equally as comforting, caring, and extremely proficient. After so many negative experiences over my lifetime at the dentist, it is nice to find a place where I am cared for as a patient and not just rushed through the door.
