Others argue that chargemasters are necessary to ensure that dentists are fairly compensated for the services they provide.

Unveiling the Power: Custom Mouth Guards from Your Trusted Dentist

A mouth guard, also known as an oral appliance or night guard, is a dental device worn over the teeth to protect them from damage caused by grinding or clenching. Mouth guards are commonly used to treat sleep bruxism, a condition in which a person grinds or clenches their teeth during sleep. Mouth guards can be made from a variety of materials, including hard acrylic, soft silicone, or a combination of both. Hard acrylic mouth guards are more durable and offer more protection, while soft silicone mouth guards are more comfortable to wear. Mouth guards can be custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, or they can be purchased over-the-counter in a variety of standard sizes.
