Dental NightGuards in Granite Bay, CA
How To Prevent Bruxism
There are several ways to alleviate the effects of bruxism. One of the most common, which your dentist may recommend, is a night guard. This is an appliance typically worn while sleeping through the night, which is available from Dr. Mahal
They are higher quality and superior fit, as they are made in a special laboratory from an impression of your mouth carefully taken by a dental professional.

Additional Treatment Options
Teeth that are out of alignment--what dentists call malocclusion--can contribute to teeth grinding. This can be remedied by corrective measures such as braces.
One of the main causes of bruxism is anxiety, so your dentist might advise you to utilize one or more at-home methods of relaxation, like meditation, or in some cases professional counseling, to get you to relax and stop clenching your jaw.
Your dentist might recommend avoiding stimulants, such as caffeine, to reduce teeth grinding. Certain medications, such as antidepressants, might also contribute to the issue, so make sure you tell your dentist about any medications you are taking so he can suggest an alternative if one is warranted.

You all make going to the dentist a positive experience with superior outcomes.Clint Payne2023-09-13For the past 20 years, I have been a loyal patient, first with Dr. Kenneth Marti and now with Dr. Mahal. My journey with Dr. Marti was always outstanding, and since Dr. Mahal took over, the standard of care and professionalism has risen even higher. Although I reside in Oregon, I choose Dr. Mahal's practice over local dental clinics. I frequently travel to the area every other month for family visits, making my dental appointments easily manageable. Throughout my time as a patient, I've been fortunate to require only cleanings and cavity treatments. While I can't comment on the entirety of their services, I deeply value their commitment to using cutting-edge equipment, maintaining a pristine facility, and fostering a warm, welcoming environment. Such qualities are rare gems nowadays, making each of my visits something to look forward to. Would recommend, and 5 Stars for me!jayne frazelle2023-08-03Dr. Mahal is knowledgeable, personable and professional. Her staff is friendly and accommodating.
