Mouthguards are devices used to protect your teeth from grinding or clenching while you sleep or from injuries while you play sports. They can also help to reduce snoring and relieve obstructive sleep apnea.
Mouth guards should be used by both children and adults who play contact sports such as football, boxing, soccer, ice hockey, basketball, lacrosse, and field hockey. However, even those participating in noncontact sports (for example, gymnastics) and any recreational activity (for example, skateboarding, mountain biking) that might pose a risk of injury to the mouth would benefit from wearing a protective mouth guard.
Adults and children who grind their teeth at night should have a nocturnal bite plate or bite splint made to prevent tooth damage.

“My daughter had her first exam with them today. I gave them a heads-up about my daughter, who has autism and anxiety. We could not be more pleased with how we were treated. The receptionist is a sweetheart on the phone and in person. The dental hygienist assistant (not sure on the proper terminology) was patient and kind with instructions and a very sweet demeanor in general. And Dr. Korat was quick and precise when it came down to a game plan. Overall we are excited to have them as a dentist. 100% would recommend them on hospitality alone!”

“Dr. Korat and his office was so kind to my daughter and I at our appointment today! He was so patient with my hyper child of mine and had talked to me of all of my concerns. I’m so happy that my daughter loves him and his staff every much 💞😁”

“My 12 yr. old granddaughter had to have dental surgery done a year ago and the dentist she was going to had retired after sending her for the surgery. We went to Dr Koart and are so happy to have someone like him that comes to our community. He took his time with her and explained everything he was doing. Very careful that she didn’t see anything going into her mouth that would scare her as she was already very nervous to the point of tears. After 2 fillings and 2 baby teeth pulled she was very pleased. When I asked her on a scale of 1-10 how bad was it, she rated it a 2. I say that’s pretty good for a scared child to rate her experience of having that done , ‘while I’m still awake”, as she put it. Great, gentle , kind and efficient. We will continue being his patients.”
