Who this list is for
This checklist is for adults scheduled for a custom night guard fitting or follow-up at the dentist, especially if you clench or grind your teeth. It’s not for routine cleanings or general dental visits. If you want to make sure your fitting goes smoothly and your dentist has all the right details, this list is for you.
How to use this list
Begin by setting aside your Photo ID and dental insurance card—they’re usually required at check-in. Have your night guard fitting appointment confirmation handy. If you already use a night guard or retainer, bring them with you for the dentist to check. Prepare a list of your current medications and any medication allergies. Write notes about any morning jaw soreness, headaches, or tooth wear you’ve noticed. If your jaw pops, clicks, or locks, jot down those details. If you use any sleep appliances, bring their details. Pack your payment card and think of questions about cleaning or maintaining your new night guard.
What to skip
Don’t bring unrelated dental products or at-home mouth guards not used for this fitting. You don’t need to pack toothpaste or floss for this visit. Avoid guessing about symptoms—write down specifics. If you don’t have a previous night guard or retainer, just skip those items.
