apnea dental appliance in Pooler

The appointment for getting fitted for an apnea dental appliance in Pooler takes around 45 minutes.

You will need to visit us twice for your apnea dental appliance. In the first session, we will take an impression of your mouth. The second time you come in, we will show you how to put the guard in your mouth and how to take it out. Then you will take the guard home with you to use.

Apnea dental appliances are usually made of a hard plastic or resin, minus the harmful BPAs sometimes found in water bottles. These typically last several years with good care.

When you come in for an apnea dental appliance in Pooler, you can be sure it will fit your teeth because we take an impression of your teeth before the guard is made. This means it’s custom-fit for your mouth and your mouth only.

When you come in to receive an apnea dental appliance in Pooler, we require a few things to be done.

• We have to have a record of your current sleep study results.
• All of your dental work must be completed, including a proper cleaning.

Cleaning your night guard daily should be part of your oral health routine. Here are some tips for daily cleaning of your apnea dental appliance.

• Be sure to rinse this item immediately after using it. Rinse your night guard with warm water right away after removing it from your mouth to eliminate debris and plaque.
• Use your toothbrush to brush your night guard. Rinse your night guard, and then brush it gently with your regular toothbrush, making sure it has soft or extra-soft bristles.
• We advise against using toothpaste for cleaning. Using toothpaste on your night guard can make it wear out faster because it’s too harsh on the material. Warm water and liquid dish detergent work well together.
• Pat your appliance dry before storing it on a clean surface to dry entirely. To prevent bacteria from multiplying quickly, dry your night guard completely before storing it.
• Place it on a clean, dry washcloth, ensuring it’s flat and out of reach of pets. Let it air dry for about 30 minutes or fewer.
• Always store your night guard in its case. To prevent losing it, be sure to store your night guard in its case whenever you’re not wearing it. Try to keep your appliance out of reach of your pets.
