Safeguard Your Smile With Mouthguards in Seattle

Your teeth could be in danger. Do you grind your teeth when sleeping? Many of our patients aren't aware they do until we show them signs of dental damage from grinding. Do you or your children participate in a high-impact sport such as basketball, football, or soccer? If so, a mouth injury could knock out one or more teeth. Dr. Koo can help you protect your smile with mouthguards in Seattle.

Stop Grinding, Stay Comfortable

An occlusal mouthguard is sometimes called a night guard because it's usually worn when you're sleeping.

It fits comfortably and snugly in your mouth and prevents damage and wear on your teeth by keeping you from grinding them together. It also makes you less likely to suffer from related symptoms such as headaches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mouthguards

How do mouthguards help bruxism?
Bruxism (teeth grinding) can cause serious damage to your teeth, including chips and cracks. Your teeth enamel can wear away, making them vulnerable to decay. It also puts pressure on your jaw that can result in pain and headaches. Many people grind their teeth in their sleep and are often unaware they're even doing it. A bruxism mouthguard keeps your teeth from coming into contact with each other. You will protect your teeth and also get a better night's rest!
Which mouthguards are best?
To effectively protect your teeth, your mouthguard should fit snugly and comfortably. We recommend custom mouthguards. They fit as if they were made for you - because they are. We'll take impressions of your teeth that are then used to create a one-of-a-kind mouthguard for you. Because a custom mouthguard stays in place and is comfortable, you won't be tempted to skip wearing it.
Can mouthguards cause bad breath?
Mouthguards themselves don't cause bad breath. But they can create an environment in your mouth that is hospitable to bacteria, which does cause bad breath. Clean your mouthguard every time you wear it to remove plaque and bacteria. Use a nonabrasive toothpaste and soft-bristled brush, or submerge it in clean, soapy water. Store it in a case that allows air to circulate to help keep it dry and free of bacteria.
Why are mouthguards important?
The most common reason to wear a mouthguard is to protect your teeth and gums while playing sports. Whether you're participating in a contact sport or not, a well-made mouthguard is your best defense against blows to the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. Mouthguards can also alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding and TMJ disorders such as frequent headaches.
