Keep reading to find out about your Moore mouthguard from Dr. Bobby Carmen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of Nighttime Teeth Grinding<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re suffering from any of the following symptoms related to bruxism, you could probably benefit from a custom-fit nighttime mouthguard in Moore, OK. If so, call the office of Dr. Carmen today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms related to buxism include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loud nighttime teeth grinding or clenching (symptoms usually noticed by a partner)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flat, fractured or chipped teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sore facial muscles upon waking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased tooth sensitivity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worn tooth enamel<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need a Nighttime Mouthguard? Get One That Fits<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re looking for a solution for your nighttime tooth grinding, we know it can be tempting to run by the pharmacy after work to pick up one of those one-size-fits-all mouthguards. They\u2019re good enough, right? Well, they\u2019re certainly cheaper &#8212; but as your Moore dentist, Dr. Carmen wants to remind you that your teeth are a lifetime investment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>If you\u2019re suffering from bruxism, protect your teeth with a professional mouthguard. It\u2019s worth it.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why You Should Toss that Drugstore Mouthguard in the Trash<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s simple: one-size-fits all mouthguards just don\u2019t provide an excellent fit for your unique teet. After all, they\u2019re made to fit everyone\u2019s mouth. And what\u2019s worse, ill-fitting oral devices can actually result in sores in the mouth and other dental problems. While boil and bite mouthguard solutions may provide a better fit, they can still be too bulky, inhibiting sleep and leading to more oral issues later on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re suffering from nighttime tooth grinding, an over-the-counter just isn\u2019t a good solution. You need something that\u2019s custom-fit to your unique mouth. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule An Appointment to Get a Mouthguard that Fits<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When left untreated, bruxism can result in the fracturing, loosening or complete loss of teeth. If you suspect that you or a loved one are suffering from nighttime teeth grinding, please don\u2019t wait to do something about it. A mouthguard is the investment you\u2019ll be glad you made &#8212; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/contact.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">call <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Carmen\u2019s office or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/request-an-appointment.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to schedule your appointment today. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instead of waking refreshed and ready-to-go every morning, do you find yourself being greeted instead by a dull headache or sore jaw?
