Mouthguards in Brockport

Mouthguards in Brockport

Many people grind their teeth in their sleep without being aware of it, putting their teeth at risk of damage. Wearing a mouthguard at night protects them from trauma and lowers the risk of other problems such as tooth wear, tooth cracks or jaw issues.

There are different types of mouthguards available. Over-the-counter mouthguards are a quick and cheap solution. Custom mouthguards are made specifically for your tooth shape by your dentist at Brockport Dental and a specialized lab. This type of mouthguard offers the best, most comfortable fit and is generally more durable than the off-the-shelf type.

Without endodontic treatment, the infection in the tooth pulp can result in an abscess, which can damage the jawbone beneath, and can affect other healthy teeth. If a tooth is causing you pain, has become extra-sensitive to heat and cold, appears discolored, or the gums around it feel tender and swollen, then you may need a root canal.
