At our
Andover dental office, Longobardi Dental, we are committed to keeping your teeth in the best shape possible. One of the most important ways that we make that happen is by providing our patients with customized mouth guards and bite guards to help protect their teeth in a variety of situations. One common reason that we recommend the use of a mouth guard is if you are an active participant in certain sports or other similar activities. Mouth guards provide a serious level of protection to keep your teeth safe, and decrease the risk of having them knocked out or damaged as a result of unexpected trauma.

We also offer similar devices, called bite guards, to help people resolve their TMJ disorder symptoms and prevent tooth grinding at night—a very common problem that leads to patients visiting our
Andover dental office for treatment. TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, one of the most complicated joints in the body. Because of its complexity, it is easy for problems to arise with the temporomandibular joint. These problems are referred to, generally, as TMJ disorders. Symptoms of a TMJ disorder include: pain in the jaw and nearby areas of the face, a popping or clicking sound when you open and close your mouth, pain while opening your mouth, constant headaches, and more. Grinding your teeth, or bruxism, is another common and related issue. Most people are unaware that they grind their teeth at night, and usually find out because their partner or someone else living in the house lets them know. If you think you may have bruxism, a TMJ disorder, or if you simply are in need of a mouth guard for your sporting activities, all you need to do is schedule an appointment with the specialists at our Andover dental office so that we can get started in the customization process.
