Westlake Village Dentist, Dr. Shindler, Offers Night Guards for Bruxism

    WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, January 04, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Philip Shindler, Westlake Village dentist, is offering night guards for protecting the teeth from the effects of bruxism. Bruxism is the technical term for grinding the teeth at night, often without the knowledge of the patient. Dr. Shindler has night guards available which will mitigate the damage caused by bruxism.

No one really knows exactly why bruxism occurs, but it is a relatively common complaint and causes great damage to teeth, especially molars. Dr. Shindler, dentist in Westlake Village, has treated many cases of bruxism and works to make appliances available to patients so that the damage from this condition can be lessened.

Dr. Shindler, Westlake Village cosmetic dentist, offers a variety of options for fitting mouth guards. Only custom-fitted mouth guards are effective in preventing damage from bruxism; it is very important that the appliances be fitted exactly to the patient's teeth.

Night guards prevent the grinding of the teeth against each other, which results in far less damage than in those who do not wear night guards. Night guards are made of durable synthetic materials, and are custom-fitted to each patient's mouth.

If teeth have been damaged by bruxism or other problems, dental crowns may also be an effective treatment to restore and protect teeth and gums. Teeth which have been damaged may need crowns to cover them and prevent decay or cavities caused by weakened enamel. Dr. Shindler works closely with patients to design the best treatment possible.

Dental restorations of all types are necessary when teeth have been damaged. However, prevention of damage is by far superior to correction of damage. Dr. Shindler can fit patients with night guards which will prevent much of the damage associated with bruxism.
