Stress affects everyone, but how you handle it matters. If you cope with stress by grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw, or if you do it while you sleep, you can cause serious damage to your teeth over time. To protect your smile and relieve the discomfort from grinding and clenching, call Mountain Gate Dental at 406-442-5930 for an appointment for a night guard in Helena, Montana. Our dentist, Dr. Erekson, can create a custom appliance designed to fit your smile.
