How do I know if I need a nightguard?

You may benefit from a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth, especially at night.

Common signs include:

• Worn or flattened teeth
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Jaw soreness
• Morning headaches
• Tooth sensitivity
• Tight or tired jaw muscles
• A partner hearing you grind your teeth at night

Your dentist can look for signs of grinding and help determine whether a nightguard is appropriate.
