Why You May Be Experiencing Jaw Pain
While there are a number of reasons people experience jaw pain, here are some of the most common culprits that are commonly cured with dental mouth guards:
- Heavy strain from chewing, swallowing or talking
- An improper bite signature
- Constant Grinding or clenching of the teeth
- A blow to the face (often occurring in sports)
- Jaw dislocation from yawning
- Arthritis or some other jaw disease
How Does Dental Mouth Guard Help?
A mouth guard helps by creating a barrier between your upper and lower teeth. A daytime mouth guard will commonly prevent the damaging effects of clenching your teeth.
A night guard, provides a comfortable cushion for your teeth to rest on throughout the night. This prevents your unconscious habit of grinding your teeth from causing further damage to your teeth and jaw.

Night Guards
Night Guards for teeth grinding and clenching
Teeth grinding and clenching is pretty common and can be painful and destructive to teeth. Thankfully, there are many types of night guards designed for teeth grinding (Bruxism) available today that will help those who clench and grind their teeth during sleep. Bruxism is quite common and many may not even be aware that they grind their teeth. Some Bruxism symptoms to be aware of are:
- Jaw pain
- Regularly waking up with dull headaches
- Ongoing facial pain
- Chronic fatigue from lack of sleep
Occasional teeth grinding may not cause any real concerns, but long-term, consistent Bruxism can lead to broken teeth, loss of tooth enamel, and in severe cases, loss of teeth. Most cases of Bruxism are easily be treated by simply wearing a nightguard during sleep. They function by being a barrier between your upper and lower teeth. When your jaw clenches, the night guard will helps to reduce the tension and provide a cushion to the muscles in your jaw. This cushioning will not only prevent ongoing face and jaw pain but will also serve to protect your tooh enamel.
Sports Guards
Sports Guards for athletes and contact sports
Who Needs a Sports Guard? Sport mouthguards are commonly recommended for people that are active in sports with alot of physical contact. Especially those sports that may result in facial injury. These sports include hockey, football, basketball, soccer, boxing, baseball, skateboarding, gymnastics and even mountain biking. The typical mouthguard will only cover your top teeth because they tend to be more prominent and often bear the brunt of most traumas. This type of mouthguard will also provide protection to lips, jaw and tongue.
How Long Do Sport Mouthguards Last? Most sport mouth guards can be used for as long as a year with normal wear and tear. If you tend to clench or grind your teeth more severely, your sport mouthguard will obviously wear out faster. Most athletes will want to replace them at least after every sports season. Professional athletes, or those currently undergoing orthodontics, should have a new, custom, sport mouthguard made at least every six months. Kids and teens may also need to replace their sport mouthguards more than twice a year. Younger mouths are still growing and constantly changing, so you will want to ensure that they always have a proper fit to protect their teeth and avoid discomfort from the mouthguard.
