Dental Mouth Guards in
Pawhuska, Oklahoma

Pawhuska Dental offers custom dental mouth guards which are made using high-quality, resilient, lightweight material so that they don’t interfere with your speaking and breathing and don’t give you a bulky feeling in your mouth while you’re wearing them. Our mouth guards are suited to the needs of children as well as adults.

Making your custom mouth guard starts with taking an impression of your teeth and mouth. This impression is sent to a dental laboratory where the mouth guard is made. Once it’s ready, we make sure it fits perfectly and give you instructions on how to use it and clean it properly. Mouth guards generally cover the upper teeth but can be made to cover the lower teeth for those who wear restorations such as crowns, bridges, etc.

Professional Dental Cleaning

Sports guards are worn over the teeth while playing contact sports that involve falls, body contact, flying equipment and more. (such as basketball, football, soccer, baseball, skateboarding, hockey, mountain biking, gymnastics), to protect the teeth and mouth from injury.

Bruxism is the habit of clenching and grinding one’s teeth, especially while sleeping. Using a dental night guard while sleeping at night prevents your teeth from rubbing against each other, protecting them from cracks and chips, and from jaw muscle strain.

Caring for Your Mouth Guard

• Rinse your mouth guard with cold, soapy water or with a mouth rinse before and after each use.
• Store your mouth guard in a perforated, strong container and protect it from hot temperatures to avoid distorting its shape.
• Keep checking your mouth guard for wear and tear and fitting issues.
