Westlake Village, CA, Aug. 16, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Philip Shindler, Westlake Village cosmetic
dentist, offers night guards to patients who grind their teeth.
Night guards are protective trays that cushion the impact of
grinding, preventing damage to the teeth.
Tooth grinding, or bruxism, is a serious problem for many patients.
Aside from causing pain in the jaw, grinding the teeth can cause a
number of other problems, including wear and damage to the teeth.
Over time, the grinding can damage the teeth. In addition, grinding
can also lead to gum recession.
Most patients do not realize that they are grinding their teeth,
because they do it at night while they are asleep. This is why the
protective guards are worn at night. The night guard is
specifically molded to fit the patient's teeth, ensuring a
comfortable fit. The guards are made from a resilient yet
cushioning material, which is designed to absorb the impact of
teeth grinding.
Night guards are a simple, inexpensive solution when compared with
many other methods designed to stop teeth grinding. Some patients
even report that the night guards stopped the tooth grinding when
more invasive and expensive methods did not work.
In addition to night guards, Dr. Shindler, Westlake Village
dentist, offers a number of other cosmetic and general dental
services. He provides
teeth whitening procedures, dental veneers,
Invisalign aligners, dental fillings, preventative treatments,
and much more.
