At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand how nighttime grinding or clenching also known as bruxism can affect your child’s dental health. That’s why we offer custom pediatric night guards designed to protect growing smiles and ensure a restful night’s sleep. Our night guards are comfortable, dentist-approved, and tailored to fit your child’s mouth precisely. Whether your child is experiencing tooth wear, jaw pain, or disrupted sleep, we’re here to provide long-term protection with a gentle and personalized approach.
Night guards are essential for children who grind their teeth while they sleep. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to enamel erosion, jaw discomfort, headaches, and long-term bite issues. A professionally fitted night guard cushions the teeth and prevents damage from grinding or clenching forces.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we carefully evaluate your child’s oral health, bite alignment, and any signs of wear before recommending a night guard. Our goal is to protect their teeth while promoting proper jaw development and improved sleep quality.

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that every child has unique needs when it comes to comfort and care. That’s why we provide safe and effective sedation options tailored for kids, from mild relaxation with laughing gas to deeper calming methods for complex treatments. Our goal is to make every visit stress-free, comfortable, and positive for your child.
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a safe and gentle way to help kids feel calm during dental treatments. It works quickly, wears off fast, and allows your child to remain awake while reducing anxiety and discomfort. This makes it one of the most common pediatric sedation options.
Oral conscious sedation is given in liquid or pill form to help children feel relaxed while staying awake and responsive. It’s ideal for kids with higher dental anxiety or those needing longer treatments. Our team carefully monitors your child to ensure safety and comfort throughout the visit.
IV sedation is recommended for children who require deeper relaxation during more complex procedures. It works quickly through a small IV line, helping your child stay calm and comfortable while our pediatric dentist completes treatment efficiently. Safety is our priority, and your child is monitored closely the entire time.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to care for children with a variety of special needs. Our experienced team creates a patient, understanding, and supportive environment tailored to each child’s abilities.

Custom pediatric night guards provide a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing the force of nighttime grinding. This helps prevent enamel loss, tooth sensitivity, chips, and fractures common in children with bruxism. By preserving the integrity of your child’s natural teeth, night guards support a healthy, strong smile and reduce the need for future restorative dental work.
Night guards help relieve the tension caused by jaw clenching and grinding during sleep two common sources of morning headaches, facial soreness, and jaw pain in children. By cushioning the teeth and easing pressure on the jaw joints and muscles, a night guard promotes deeper sleep and a more comfortable start to the day.
Unmanaged bruxism can contribute to jaw misalignment, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, and even the need for future orthodontic treatment. A custom night guard helps guide proper bite development and protects the smile during critical growth years supporting both function and long-term oral health.
We assess your child’s oral habits, jaw health, and signs of grinding to determine if a night guard is needed.
We take precise impressions of your child’s mouth to create a custom-fit night guard that’s both effective and comfortable.
Once ready, we ensure the guard fits properly and teach your child how to wear and care for it at home.
Common signs include teeth grinding sounds at night, morning jaw pain, or visible tooth wear. Our dentist can evaluate and confirm the need during an exam.
