Night Guards

Night Guards


Do you grind your teeth at night? Over time, the habitual grinding of teeth while sleeping can cause serious damage and wear to your teeth. It can lead to jaw pain, gum irritation, and even disrupt your partner's sleep. The problem for most is that you can't always control what you're doing while you sleep.


That's why here at Amit Pandya, DDS we recommend night guards to assist people who grind their teeth while sleeping. Our guards function very much like athletic mouth guards in that they perform barriers between top and bottom teeth. They are custom fit for your mouth and for maximum comfort and last up to 10 years.


We also work with you to help find other ways to reduce the likelihood of grinding your teeth at night. This includes recommendations like:



  • Cutting out caffeine.

  • Avoiding alcoholic beverages.

  • Performing relaxation exercise.

  • Tossing out chewing gum.


The best options available today to prevent grinding period are night guards. Contact Amit Pandya, DDS at 516-233-2135 today and see how we can help you get rid of the pain and damage teeth grinding can leave behind.
