Q: I recently had LANAP procedure. Now they want me to get a fitted teeth guard or tray. I am 70 years old and have never had a problem with grinding my teeth. Do I really have to have the guard? I have trouble sleeping now and this will probably be flung across the bedroom at some point.
A: Since I am not the treating Periodontist in your case, I cannot make this professional judgment. However, I can say that night guard therapy is very common following the LANAP procedure. Please check with the doctor who did the LANAP procedure.
