I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!

Jen S.

Ann always does a really great job of cleaning my teeth. She is the absolute best with x-rays. Dr. Deek is very thorough in his review of the xrays and my health history. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions About Mouthguards

Why are mouthguards important?

The most common reason to wear a mouthguard is to protect your teeth and gums while playing sports. Whether you're participating in a contact sport or not, a well-made mouthguard is your best defense against blows to the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. Mouthguards can also alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding and reduce loud snoring.

Can mouthguards help with teeth grinding?

Yes, and in fact, custom mouthguards are one of the most common, conservative solutions for teeth grinding and other issues related to your jaw joint, or TMJ. Because these oral devices fit over your teeth, they keep you from involuntarily clenching and grinding your teeth together while you sleep. This can alleviate the pressure on your jaw and protect your tooth enamel from damage.

How do mouthguards help with 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.
