A mouth guard acts as a cushioning barrier between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing the forces generated by grinding or clenching.  The better the mouth guard fits, the more it can help to absorb the excessive force and disperse it evenly, reducing the risk of tooth fractures.  Learn how mouth guards can help protect teeth in this week’s episode of Care Experts with Dr. Mori.
