Whether you are an athlete, struggle with teeth grinding, or snore at night, a mouthguard can protect your smile from damage or injury. We offer several types of mouthguards depending on your needs, including:
Athletic Mouthguard – Millions of teeth are knocked out every year during recreational sports. By wearing a mouthguard, you are 60 times less likely to suffer a dental injury. Our custom-made mouthguards will fit comfortably in your mouth, allowing you to speak, breathe, and talk easily.
Night Guard – Stress often causes people to grind and clench their teeth unknowingly. You might do this in your sleep without being aware of it. Frequent morning headaches and jaw pains are signs you grind your teeth at night. Your personalized night guard will keep your top and bottom teeth separated and your jaw in a more relaxed position to ease your headaches and other symptoms, too. If misaligned teeth are an issue, you may want to consider orthodontics as well.
Oral Appliance for Sleep Apnea – Teeth grinding can also be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea. If you have this sleep disorder, your airway becomes blocked and you stop breathing during sleep. This causes you to wake up throughout the night and results in frequent daytime sleepiness. Your custom-made oral appliance will comfortably shift your jaw forward slightly to keep your airway open. You will snore less and get the deep sleep you need.
Your teeth are too valuable to lose to an injury on the field or to damage from teeth grinding. Plus, you and your partner deserve a good night’s sleep. Edgewood Dental Care can help with all those concerns. Call 859-474-7830 to get mouthguards in Edgewood, KY. You can also schedule online.

I made the switch to this dentist when my other pushed for me to use IV sedation when I needed to get a tooth pulled even though I didn’t want it. They got me in quick and listened to my concerns. They made the process quick and painless. They are super nice and helped me relax. I will be taking my whole family here from now on.
Edgewood dental staff was very friendly, attentive and met my needs. I felt very comfortable and recieved great care! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dental care!
So caring and thoughtful. Going to the dentist is uncomfortable and sometimes painful but they make it SO easy!! I’ve never had such accurate, fast and friendly people take care of me in any medical professional. They are the best! Don’t feel like you’ll be judged if you haven’t been to the dentist in a while. They are thoughtful and considerate of your feelings! You have to go there! I look forward to my next appointment!
Everyone was so kind and helpful. I was treated with understanding and patience. They helped me with my cracked tooth quickly and painlessly. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith and his staff. I am a self pay and they gave me plenty of options to help me and they were not outrageous with their price.
I went in for a first visit. Entire staff were cordial. X-rays were taken and the dentist came in and was very thorough in his explanation of my treatment. I am glad that I am now a patient of theirs.
From the time I stepped into the place I experienced prompt, professional service, from the receptionist to the dental asst. and especially the dentist! I liked how gentle the dental assistant was with my x-rays considering I was in so much pain, she did an excellent job and the dentist was just as gentle in his evaluation!
Great experience at Edgewood Dental Care! They thoroughly explained everything, set up a plan for treatment and were super friendly. I’m so glad I switched to them!
I’ve always hated the thought of going to the dentist. They got me in as a new patient, same day and removed two teeth. The process was rough for me but they were incredibly patient and understanding. The prices were very good compared to the last office I went to. I already have another appointment booked and will happily drive 25 minutes away from home just to go to this dentist. Fantastic people.
Everyone at Edgewood Dental is very friendly, professional and go out of their way to make you comfortable. Dr. Middendorf is my hero. He explained everything he was doing and he took his time. I was very nervous but his caring manor and confidence really helped me relax. I found my new dentist.
Excellent care. Staff was very pleasant. Affordable plans make it easy to keep up a regular professional routine when dental insurance is not available. I highly recommend!
Common Questions About Mouthguards
Why are mouthguards important? +–
Mouthguards can serve several important functions, including protecting your teeth, gums, jaw, and head while playing sports and preventing you from grinding your teeth at night. In either case, a mouthguard created by your dentist is the best way to ensure a custom, comfortable fit and that it’s made of high-quality, durable material.
How does a mouthguard work for snoring? +–
Snoring is caused when your tongue and tissues in your throat relax during sleep, partially obstructing your airway. If you suffer from sleep apnea, your airway may become completely blocked, causing you to briefly awaken many times during the night. A custom mouthguard solves both problems by easing your jaw into a position that keeps your airway clear.
Can mouthguards help with teeth grinding? +–
Custom mouthguards are one of the most common, conservative solutions for teeth grinding. Because this oral device fits over your upper and lower teeth, it keeps you from involuntarily clenching and grinding your teeth together while you sleep. This will protect your tooth enamel from damage and alleviate the pressure on your jaw. As a result, it will eliminate other symptoms like headaches and jaw pain.
Is teeth grinding causing my headaches? +–
It’s possible. Teeth grinding and clenching can lead to inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that causes pain in the surrounding muscles of the head and neck, which can be misinterpreted as migraines. By wearing a mouthguard, you can alleviate the pain caused by teeth grinding and other triggers of TMJ inflammation. You may also experience relief from headaches.
