Dr. Cuevas on Bruxism Mouthguards

Bruxism is a term where we describe that people grind their teeth or clench their teeth. The effects are very similar. What they're doing is really destroying the enamel layer of the outer covering of your tooth. And once it's gone, it's gone. So, many people, they grind or brux when they're asleep. They're unaware of it. Like any other bad habit, unless you're aware of it, you can't control it. At night when you're asleep, there's no way that you can control it. So, if we make you a mouthguard that's comfortable, then you'll be able to protect your teeth at night. If you don't do that, it just gets worse and worse and worse. I've seen people crack teeth in half. I've seen people grind them down to the gum level. Even those individuals did not know that that's what was causing the problem.

I know of probably 10 different ways to make a mouthguard and 10 different kinds of mouthguards depending on what the situation is. So, if it's simply just from grinding, there is a mouthguard that will just go over your front teeth. It's very comfortable, easy to wear. Most people find that after one or two weeks, it's something that they can wear very easily. There are different types of mouthguards that we can make, though, and find the one that works the best for you.

  • Teeth Grinding – This behavior, often caused by stress, not only damages your teeth but can also cause a painful condition called TMJ disorder. We can fit you for a night guard that will stop your grinding and relieve the jaw pain caused by TMJ problems.
  • Sleep Apnea – A custom-made mouthguard can be used to treat sleep apnea by moving your jaw into a position that keeps your airway clear while you sleep. Many people find it easier to adjust to a mouthguard than to a CPAP machine.

Proper Mouthguard Maintenance Will Extend Its Life

You’ll want to keep your custom mouthguard as long as possible. To do so, you should take good care of it. Follow our mouthguard maintenance advice:

  • Don’t chew on your custom mouthguard
  • Don’t ever share it with others
  • Clean after every use, using mild soap or toothpaste; use warm water rather than hot
  • Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or other high temperatures
  • Bring it with you to your dental exams so we can make sure it’s still in good shape

You will tell I was really impressed today when I went to Dr Cuevas’s office for a “regular” teeth cleaning. Things were going exceedingly well ( as Erin complimented me on my improved daily cleaning results ), when her mood changed suddenly. She had discovered and measured a pocket void on two sides of a molar which decades ago had had a root canal. She immediately worried it could be indicating a cracked tooth, but only Dr Cuevas’s expertise and maybe an X-ray would tell us more. I had no pain or irritation of any kind and I had a similar cracked tooth many years earlier which was not discovered until I had experienced much discomfort due to infection. So I was completely surprised. Erin’s preliminary diagnosis proved to be right on the button, proving what I had sensed over a few years of her cleanings...that she is really well schooled and trained in what she does so well ( a true studied and academic scientist), with the experience to readily identify a problem which very well could turn into a painful emergency down the road. By the way, the X-ray machine was brand new and state of the art not requiring me to jam into my small mouth an number of small X-ray plates. It just revolved around my head as I stood in place. I made my appointment for the extraction with Dr Cuevas but was told, if I would like to wait an hour it could be accomplished this afternoon, so I did not have to trek back, and it was. Once again, no pain no matter how hard this 60 year old tooth was to get out. What a pleasure to eliminate the problem before it was a painful emergency in a state of the art dental operation with really well trained professional staff. David C. Wilton CT

(Translated by Google) Meeting Dr. Cuevas is the best thing that could happen to me. After many years looking for a good dentist without success, the fear of so many visits full of bad times and a lot of pain, made me avoid them completely; Until a good day by recommendation of acquaintances I went to his office ... what a nice difference! He is a professional who gives a warm and respectful treatment to his patients. Your office is equipped with the latest technologies, is well located and with enough parking, its employees are efficient and friendly, always trying to make me feel good. I recommend Dr. Pablo Cuevas without reservation and with great pleasure. Oh, I forgot an important detail, Dr. Cuevas speaks Spanish and is always in a good mood. (Original) Conocer al Dr. Cuevas es lo mejor que me pudo pasar. Despúes de muchos años buscando un buen dentista sin exito, el miedo a tantas visitas llenas de malos ratos y mucho dolor, me hizo evitarlos por completo; Hasta que un buen dia por recomendacion de conocidos fui a su consultorio... que agradable diferencia! Él es todo un profesional que le da un trato calido y respetuoso a sus pacientes. Su oficina esta equipada con las últimas tecnologías, esta bien situada y con suficiente estacionamiento, sus empleadas son eficientes y amigables, siempre tratando de hacerme sentir bien. Recomiendo al Dr. Pablo Cuevas sin reservación y con muchisimo gusto. Ah, se me olvidaba un detalle importante, El Dr. Cuevas habla español y siempre esta de buen humor.

An excellent experience all-around. Dr.Cuevas, Erin and the rest of the staff are extremely knowledgeable, patient, helpful and awesome at what they do. They were able to fix a few minor issues I was dealing with, and I already felt significantly better the day following my appointment. They will help you with your immediate issues as well as developing a long-term plan of care for your dental health. Highly recommend if you're looking for top-notch service in our area (bonus, they accept most major insurances!) Looking forward to working with them on an ongoing basis!
