Mouthguards

What Is Sleep Bruxism?

Bruxism is the medical term used to describe excessive grinding or clenching of your teeth. One might not be aware of this habit until symptoms start to cause problems. Nightguards were created specifically to treat nocturnal bruxism. Nightguards are soft or  firm acrylic pieces that cover the top or bottom row of teeth. They protect your teeth from the force of clenching and stop them from grinding together, avoiding headaches, broken teeth or swollen gums.

Common Signs of Sleep Bruxism

Talk to your dentist about the following signs and symptoms:

  • Chipped or worn teeth
  • Waking up with headaches
  • Increasing spaces between the teeth.
  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorder—inflammation of the jaw due to clenching
  • Chronic grinding 

Are you or your child into sports?

A custom mouthguard should be made if you or your child intends to participate in sports. Mouthguards are made specifically to guard against injury from trauma sustained during an activity or sport.

Custom mouthguards are smooth and comfortable to wear. They stay firmly in place on your teeth and are simple to put in and take out because they were made specifically for you. Compared to mouthguards purchased over the counter, they offer more protection and are more comfortable.

After a nightmare experience with a pediatric dentist in Ottawa, I am so grateful to have found Dr. Saran and her wonderful team. I was told by her previous dentist that my 4 year old would need to go to Cheo and be put under to fill her 4 cavities. I’m so glad I sought out Dr. Saran for a second opinion. She filled 2 cavities in her office (without freezing) in under 10 minutes and the other 2 cavities have since hardened up after following Dr. Saran’s recommendations. My second daughter (now 3 years old) was born with missing enamel and has had numerous fillings with Dr. Saran, again without any freezing. My kids love going to the dentist! Dr. Saran is quick, extremely skilled, and trustworthy. I just can’t recommend her enough. The admin team, Rebecca and Kayla, are always so friendly and accommodating. They have squeezed me in a few times with very little notice for dental emergencies. The staff here truly cares! Although we are moving to Nova Scotia, we will continue to bring the kids back to see Dr. Saran. there is no other dentist I would trust more with my kids’ health. Thank you for everything!

Services at Gateway Dentistry are pleasant and professional – from ortho for my kids to general dental hygiene services, to fillings, they have always provided caring and thorough service. Dr. Saran has exceptional knowledge in her field and has a very practical and kind approach when communicating with patients. I am particularly impressed by the protocols implemented during COVID to ensure clean filtered air quality and sanitized equipment.

Great experience at Gateway Dentistry, the staff was very friendly and helpful. No wait time. Dr. Bezreh is a great and extremely professional doctor! Today the receptionist told me they had stopped direct billing to insurance companies for all patients, a little bit disappointed, but this does not change the overall experiences.
