Custom Mouth Guards in Union City, NJ

If your teeth are at risk for damage due to sports or teeth grinding, chances are you’ll need to invest in a mouth guard. Mouthguards are a great way to make sure your teeth stay safe and protected. At Hudson Family Dental in Union City, NJ, we provide sports guards as well as night guards.

Sports Guards

If you or your child is involved in sports, it’s a good idea to invest in a sports guard. This type of mouthguard fits snugly to your teeth to protect them from damage due to impact. They also protect the rest of your mouth from accidental biting due to a hit or a fall.

While some people have success with store-bought mouthguards, the fit isn’t as secure, which limits the amount of protection available. They can also irritate your mouth due to the unstable fit. Our sports guards are custom-fitted to your teeth for maximum protection and comfort.

Night Guards

If you grind your teeth—especially at night while you sleep—a night guard can help eliminate the side effects that may follow, such as jaw pain or teeth sensitivity. Night guards prevent your teeth’s chewing surfaces from coming into contact, thereby putting a stop to any damage that would otherwise be caused by teeth grinding while you sleep.
