Where can I buy a mouthguard for sports?
You can purchase a sports mouthguard at dental clinics, sporting goods stores and online.

How do you know if you grind your teeth at night?
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, often occurs during sleep. You may not notice it for a while. Common signs include waking up with a sore jaw, headaches or sensitive teeth. If you suspect you grind your teeth at night, consult with Dr. Pollack who can examine your teeth for signs of wear and suggest appropriate treatment, such as a night guard.

Can teeth grinding cause headaches?
Yes, teeth grinding can lead to tension headaches. The excessive clenching and grinding put strain on the muscles, tissues and other structures around your jaw. The strain can cause pain that radiates to your head, leading to headaches. Using a dental night guard can help alleviate these symptoms by reducing the pressure on your jaw while you sleep.
