At Pinnacle Pediatric Dentistry, we provide custom-made night guards in Houston, TX, to protect your child’s teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching (bruxism) during sleep. Our night guards are designed to be comfortable, durable, and effective, ensuring your child’s oral health is safeguarded while they rest.

What Are Night Guards?

Night guards are specially crafted dental devices worn during sleep to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding and jaw clenching. These custom-fitted guards act as a barrier, protecting your child’s teeth, jaw, and gums from unnecessary strain and wear, while also reducing the risk of dental cavities caused by enamel erosion. Additionally, night guards can help minimize issues like gingival gum infection and dental swelling by preventing excessive pressure on teeth and gums. At Pinnacle Pediatric Dentistry, we create high-quality night guards tailored to fit your child comfortably, encouraging better sleep and improved oral health.

Her staff was courteous and professional and she was just wonderful in the way. She made him feel comfortable, relaxed and virtually unafraid.”
