Doctor Greg Wetterhus on Bruxism Nightguards

So, we make a lot of night guards for our patients, but it has to be the right indication. We don't normally make a night guard for a clencher. We make a night guard for somebody that grinds their teeth, or bruxism, and those patients, you can see on their teeth what they're doing, how they're wearing their teeth away and those patients definitely need a night guard. You'll also see it on the night guard, when they come in for their clean appointments, because we'll clean their night guards each clean appointment. And, you'll see the marks that they've ground through the night guard and some patients even break them. So, it's pretty severe and we treat that here, yes.

  • Protect your teeth against injury during sports
  • Prevent dental emergencies and the associated pain and expense
  • Stop harmful teeth grinding and the need for a restorative dentist
  • Provide better protection and feel more comfortable than store-bought options

Call us today at 253-999-9419 to get fitted for your custom mouthguard. We’re conveniently located at 3920 10th St. SE, not far from Pierce College in the South Hill area.

Keep Your Pearly Whites Intact With a Professionally Made Mouthguard

No one wants dental damage. Unfortunately, it can be a fact of life if you don’t take steps to protect your teeth. According to the American Dental Association, athletes not wearing a mouthguard are 60 times more likely to suffer teeth damage than those wearing mouth protection!

Bruxism (teeth grinding) is another major cause of teeth damage. Did you know you can grind your teeth while you sleep and not be aware of it? That’s why it’s important to keep up with regular checkups – so we can check for signs of teeth enamel damage and recommend treatment as necessary.

Our custom mouthguards will provide protection against both kinds of teeth damage. When you come in for your consultation and exam, we’ll take impressions of your teeth so that we can have a professionally crafted mouthguard made just for you. In some cases, we can even make them right here in our office.

It will fit better and provide better protection than “boil-and-bite” products you can find in the store. And since our custom-made mouthguards offer superior protection and performance, you can enjoy peace of mind that your or your child’s teeth are getting the best protection possible.

In addition, our custom-fit mouthguards can also relieve TMJ pain and help with sleep apnea symptoms. If you suffer from these conditions, let us know so we can help!

Puyallup mouthguards can keep your smile intact. Call us today to get yours: 253-999-9419.

Commonly Asked Questions About Mouthguards

Why are mouthguards important?

Mouthguards can serve several important functions, including protecting your teeth, gums, jaw, and head while playing sports and preventing you from grinding your teeth at night. In either case, a mouthguard created by your dentist is the best way to ensure a custom, comfortable fit and that it’s made of high-quality, durable material.

Can mouthguards help with TMJ problems?

Yes, mouthguards from an experienced dentist can be designed to fit over your upper and lower teeth so that as you sleep, your jaw stays in a forward position to induce proper realignment of the joint, as well as prevent you from clenching down and putting excess pressure on your TMJ during the night.

How are mouthguards made?

For any oral appliance to fit well and work effectively, it needs to be customized to the precise measurements of your mouth. Athletes who buy mass-produced guards from a sporting goods store, for example, will never find one that is sized comfortably or appropriately enough to provide full coverage and protection. We can create a mouthguard that allows you to move, breathe, and communicate easily while keeping your smile safe.
