Overview
What Is Night Guards & Sports Guards in Northeast Brampton?
Bruxism — grinding or clenching of teeth — often happens during sleep when you have no conscious control over it. Over time, the force generated can wear down enamel, cause jaw pain and headaches, and even crack or fracture teeth. A custom night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing that force before it causes damage.
Sports guards are equally important for anyone — adults and children alike — who participates in contact or collision sports. A single blow to the face can chip, crack, or knock out a tooth, and the soft tissue and jaw can suffer too. A properly fitted sports guard significantly reduces the risk of dental injury while also protecting the lips, cheeks, and tongue from lacerations.
Unlike store-bought options, a custom-fabricated guard made from impressions of your teeth fits precisely and comfortably. Patients find them far easier to wear consistently because they don't shift, bulge, or interfere with breathing — and consistent wear is what actually provides protection.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Night Guards & Sports Guards at Gardenbrooke Dental in Brampton
How do I know if I grind my teeth at night at Gardenbrooke Dental in Northeast Brampton?
Common signs include waking up with jaw soreness or headaches, worn-down teeth visible on examination, increased tooth sensitivity, and a partner noticing grinding sounds. Your dentist can identify wear patterns during a routine checkup.
Can I use a store-bought mouth guard instead of a custom guard from Gardenbrooke Dental in Brampton?
Over-the-counter guards are a one-size-fits-all solution and rarely fit well. They tend to be bulky, uncomfortable, and may even shift your bite over time. A custom guard is worth the investment for effective, comfortable protection.
How long does a custom night guard or sports guard from Gardenbrooke Dental last?
Most custom night guards last 3–5 years with proper care. Sports guards worn during high-contact activities may need replacement sooner. Bring your guard to your regular checkup and your dentist will assess its condition.
