Night Guards
If you wake with jaw soreness or notice tooth wear, let’s look for the reason and discuss protection.
Plaza Family Dentistry · Kansas CityA good place to begin
Care explained, without the pressure.
A custom night guard may be recommended in some cases of grinding or clenching. An evaluation matters because discomfort and wear can have more than one cause.
The current production site lists night guards. A guard may protect teeth but may not resolve every cause of jaw pain; a dentist should evaluate persistent symptoms.

Questions, answered
Good to know before you go.
We would rather give you clear answers than leave you guessing. Call us if your question is more specific.
Is every sore jaw caused by grinding?
No. Jaw discomfort has several possible causes, so an exam is a useful first step.
Can I buy a guard at a store?
Over-the-counter products exist, but fit and suitability vary. Ask Dr. Wolkoff what is appropriate for your mouth.
How do I clean a night guard?
The office can give instructions for the material used in your guard. Bring it to visits so fit and wear can be checked.
