We talk a lot about aging skin. We protect our hair. We whiten our teeth.

But what about the actual shape of our teeth?

This is something I wish I had thought about years ago. My teeth had always been one of my favorite features, and I didn’t realize how gradually they were wearing down until one day… I really noticed.

Teeth can become flatter, shorter and less defined over time—and once natural tooth structure is gone, whitening can’t bring it back.

That realization completely changed the way I think about dental care.

Maybe the beauty conversation shouldn’t only be about making our teeth whiter or changing our smiles. Maybe it should also be about preserving the beautiful natural teeth we already have.

I wrote about that idea here:

Can a night guard actually stop teeth grinding?

The answer may surprise you: usually, no.

A night guard doesn’t necessarily switch off the grinding or clenching habit. Its most important job is to protect your teeth while that activity is happening by creating a protective surface between the upper and lower teeth.

That distinction matters.

Grinding marks on your guard don’t automatically mean it “isn’t working.” In many cases, they mean the guard is taking the wear that would otherwise be happening directly on your enamel.

In our newly updated guide, we break down:

what a night guard can realistically do
what the research says about actually reducing bruxism
why some people still grind while wearing one
when a night guard may not be enough
and what to look into if your goal is to address the grinding itself

If you’ve ever wondered “Does a dental night guard stop teeth grinding?”, this is the deep dive.

💰 Why does a custom night guard from the dentist often cost around $700?

It's a question I hear all the time.

Many people assume they're paying $700 for a piece of plastic—but that's not really what they're paying for.

In this video, I break down where the cost actually comes from, including:

✔️ The dental appointment
✔️ Clinical staff time
✔️ Laboratory fabrication
✔️ Practice overhead
✔️ Follow-up care and adjustments

This isn't about saying dentists charge "too much." Most dental offices provide excellent care, and there are real costs involved in delivering that level of service.

My goal is simply to explain why custom night guards cost what they do so you can make an informed decision about what's best for you.
