Are you experiencing morning headaches, jaw discomfort, or tooth sensitivity? These could be signs of nighttime teeth grinding or clenching. At One Bethesda Dental Center, conveniently located in the heart of Bethesda, MD, we offer custom-fitted night guards to help alleviate these issues by providing a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the impact of grinding and clenching.
