A guide to the treatment
Night guards,
A guard maintained through a simple daily routine, its fit reviewed at routine check-ups, nothing more demanded of it.
Care, once fitted, asks little. Rinse after use, clean gently, store in its case. That, generally, suffices between wears. The dentist reviews the guard at routine appointments, its fit and condition considered alongside the teeth. No fixed interval governs how often attention is warranted, this depends on use and care.

Night guards
A simple routine, daily
Rinsing, gentle cleaning, storage in its case. Little more required to keep it in condition.
Reviewed at routine visits
The guard checked at scheduled appointments, alongside the usual examination.
Nothing left to guesswork
A guard that feels loose, cracked or worn warrants a visit sooner than the next scheduled check.
How it happens
A guard maintained through a simple daily routine, its fit reviewed at routine check-ups, nothing more demanded of it.
Care, explained
Care and storage explained once the guard is fitted, understood from the outset.
Ongoing review
The guard examined at routine visits, alongside the teeth themselves.
Adjustment or replacement, discussed
Wear or damage, where noticed, prompts a plain explanation of what follows.
Questions before a decision
A night guard suits anyone who prefers a straightforward care routine and review folded into appointments already kept, rather than a separate schedule to track.
How is the guard cleaned?
Rinsed after use, cleaned gently with a soft brush. Hot water avoided, it distorts the material. The dentist confirms the specific routine.
How often is it reviewed?
At routine check-ups, fit and condition considered alongside the teeth. Sooner, if it feels loose, cracked or worn.
Does the guard wear over time?
It can, depending on frequency of use and the force of grinding or clenching involved. The dentist notes anything worth acting on.
What if the fit changes?
Raise it with the dentist. Adjustment is often possible. Where not, a replacement is discussed.
