New Dental Night Mouth Guard Protects Against Bruxism—Grinding Teeth

March 05, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Guerneville, Ca. — So very many people suffer from bruxism—grinding teet at night—that a concerned dental hygienist created a new night mouth guard kit to help bring relief to millions of sufferers.

Bruxism is a very common problem that takes place when when people clench or grind their teeth at night while they sleep. It may be caused by strees or sleep disorders. Bruxism may be the source of headaches, chipped and broken teeth, flattening of teeth, loss of dental fillings, temperature sensitivity, and other oral and facial problems.

“I created a day and night mouth guard – a protective dental device kit aimed at reducing the damage and discomfort caused by tooth grinding, or bruxism, because I have seen so many people suffer needlessly from this. The only products available were either very expensive, too uncomfortable, or just not helpful enough,” explained David Barnes.

Barnes recently received the Early Childhood Education “Caring Community Award” for his oral health education program for young children in the state of Washington.

Various custom bite splints and mouth guards are available at dental offices are usually expensive and not covered by dental insurance. The kit created by Barnes is comfortable, easily affordable, and available over the counter without a prescription.

“The Dental Hygiene Preferred Brand Grind/Clench Brux Day/Night Mouth Guard Complete Kit has just become available for global retail distribution through our web site and soon in pharmacies located in the United States,” he explained.

With over 20 million adults and children who suffer from some form of bruxism in the United States alone, it is expected that the device made available by Barnes will quickly dominate the market. It has a suggested retail price of less than $20, making it affordable to everyone regardless of insurance benefits.

The day or night mouth guard can be used by anyone suffering from problem tooth grinding, excessive clenching, and similar brux-related problems (not intended as a cure for bruxism, TMJ or TMD). User testimonials show this dental mouth guard to be both extremely effective and very comfortable.
