Are night guards a scam, or do they actually protect your teeth? In this video, I explain the night guard debate, including why dentists still recommend night guards for clenching and grinding, what a night guard really does, and why “fixing the root cause” is not the same as protecting your teeth in the meantime. We’ll talk about bruxism, enamel wear, cracked teeth, jaw pain, stress, sleep apnea, bite issues, and the difference between preventing damage and curing the cause. If you grind your teeth at night or wake up with jaw tension, headaches, or worn teeth, this video will help you understand when a night guard may help and why dentists often recommend both root-cause treatment and tooth protection. 🦷 BEST NIGHT GUARDS RATED BY ME: https://www.teethtalkgirl.com/review/mouth-guards-for-teeth-grinding/ 🦷 RELATED VIDEOS: https://youtube.com/shorts/HYe-FdgekvE https://youtu.be/68Bc13kAPlA https://youtu.be/RYDCqUWNvhU 🦷 PRODUCTS MENTIONED: ▶ night guard (Smile Brilliant): https://bit.ly/ttg-night-brilliant ▶ night guard (JS lab): https://bit.ly/js-dental-lab ▶ night guard (pro teeth): https://bit.ly/ttg-pro-teeth-guard 🦷 WANT MORE TEETH TALK? ▶ newsletter: https://bit.ly/ttg-subscribe ▶ personal storefront: https://bit.ly/4jgJPdG ▶ amazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/teethtalk ▶ oral care guide: https://bit.ly/free-oral-hygiene-routine-guide ▶ bettermouth app: https://www.bettermouth.com/ ▶ website: https://teethtalkgirl.com ▶ shop happyteeth: https://givehappyteeth.com/ 🦷 SUPPORT THIS CONTENT: ▶ patreon: https://www.patreon.com/teethtalkgirl ▶ youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoWqwg_7NXuvoJZIgzHf8Dw/join 🦷 SOURCES: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adaj.2021.06.012 https://www.mouthhealthy.org/all-topics-a-z/teeth-grinding/ https://www.deltadental.com/protect-my-smile/oral-health-habits/occlusal-mouth-guards/ 🦷 BACKGROUND MUSIC: artlist.io 🦷 NOTE: This video does not provide medical advice and is intended for informational purposes only.
