Although the problem is serious, the solution is often as simple as a bite splint or night guard from Conte Dentistry in Red Bank, NJ. This removable appliance snaps into place to form a layer between your top and bottom teeth and relieves the tension in your jaw.
A night guard may be right for you if:
- you experience pain, soreness, or swelling of the jaw
- your teeth show evidence of wear or erosion
- you have porcelain crowns or veneers that are susceptible to damage

Frequently Asked Questions
What signs may indicate that a night guard is needed?
You may benefit from a night guard if you experience jaw discomfort, frequent headaches, tooth sensitivity, or notice signs of grinding such as worn or chipped teeth. An exam can help determine if treatment is needed.
Can a night guard prevent teeth grinding entirely?
A night guard doesn’t stop grinding, but it helps protect your teeth by creating a cushion between them. This reduces wear and helps prevent long-term damage.
What are the key benefits of wearing a night guard?
Night guards help protect your teeth, reduce jaw tension, and support the longevity of dental work. They can also help relieve symptoms like headaches and muscle soreness.
Can a night guard help manage TMJ-related symptoms?
Yes, a night guard can help ease pressure on the jaw and may reduce symptoms like pain, clicking, or stiffness associated with TMJ.
Are custom night guards better than over-the-counter options?
Custom night guards are made to fit your teeth precisely, making them more comfortable and effective than store-bought options.
How long does a custom night guard last?
With proper care, a custom night guard can last for several years. We’ll monitor its condition during routine visits to ensure it continues to fit well.
Should a night guard be worn every night?
Yes, wearing your night guard consistently provides the best protection and helps prevent ongoing damage from grinding or clenching.
Are night guards suitable for younger patients?
In some cases, younger patients may benefit from a night guard if signs of grinding are present. We’ll evaluate and recommend the best approach based on their needs.
