Custom Night Guards by Dr. Jessica Pushee
Dentist Foxboro
A night guard might be the solution you need. Similar to an athletic mouth guard, this removable dental appliance creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. When you visit Charm Dental, Dr. Jessica Pushee will custom-fit your night guard to ensure it’s comfortable and effective, protecting your teeth from wear, reducing gum irritation, and minimizing the risk of enamel damage and jaw pain.
During your appointment, Dr. Pushee will also discuss lifestyle habits that could be contributing to your night grinding, such as chewing gum, alcohol, and caffeine consumption. Addressing these can help reduce or even eliminate the problem.
If you suspect you might be grinding your teeth at night, don’t wait. Contact Charm Dental in Foxboro to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jessica Pushee. We’re here to help you protect your oral health.

Did You Know…
Teeth grinding isn’t just annoying; it can lead to serious dental health issues. Many people don’t realize they grind their teeth because it often happens while they are asleep. However, over time, bruxism can wear down the surface of your teeth, leading to sensitivity and even tooth loss. Regular check-ups can help detect and address these issues early.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dentist Foxboro
How do I know if I need a night guard?
Common signs include waking up with a sore jaw, headaches, and teeth that look flat or worn down. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult Dr. Pushee.
Will wearing a night guard be uncomfortable?
No, Dr. Pushee custom-fits each night guard to ensure maximum comfort. Most patients get used to wearing their night guard very quickly.
How do I care for my night guard?
Clean your night guard with a toothbrush and cold water after each use. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the material. Store it in a dry, ventilated case during the day.
Can a night guard cure my bruxism?
While a night guard won’t cure bruxism, it can significantly reduce the wear on your teeth and alleviate the associated pain and discomfort.
How often should I replace my night guard?
This varies based on wear and tear. Dr. Pushee will check your night guard during your regular visits and advise if a replacement is necessary.
