I have been with Lighthouse for more than 35+ years. Dr. Samuels stands by his work and patient satisfaction and comfort is his primary concern. The office extends itself to accommodate your busy schedule which is reflective in its posted office hours. It is always a pleasant and friendly experience to visit his practice. Patty Ulatowski

Friendly staff, very professional, courteous and caring. We are a family of 4 and are all customers there. While doing a cleaning this past November, Courtney decided to ask D.M.D Joy Cocchiola to double check a lump underneath my jaw. That lump turned out to be the beginning of throat cancer (never smoke in my life). Without that early detection, God knows what would have happen. I’m under…

Irena always performs excellent workmanship/cleaning on my teeth. She wants the client to walk away with a smile which she has high expectation of self conscientiousness. It is inspiring to look in the mirror and know a manicure effort was performed. I guess I will have to wait for my next appointment. Too bad she does an excellent job now I have to wait longer until my next appointment.

A night guard is a cushiony tool that is placed in the mouth and worn overnight. Worn over all of the teeth, this guard is usually made of a soft and absorbent material and is meant to sit over the teeth. These night guards are different from other mouth guards in their shape and their end goal. A traditional mouth guard—like those worn for sporting events—are less absorbent and may actually be made of different materials as they are meant to serve a different role in dental development and protection.
There are several different reasons a dentist might recommend the use of a fitted dental night guard. Among the most popular of reasons, though, is bruxism. Bruxism, or teeth grinding occurs when an individual continually clenches the teeth or rubs them against each other. Teeth grinding can be a temporary problem based out of anxiety or stress. It can also be the result of anxiousness that causes the body to find an alternative means to release it. It can also be done with little to no thought or external stimuli. Teeth grinding can also be the result of a more chronic condition that will continue in the body until it is fully addressed by a dental examination or evaluation like those provided to patients at our own Lighthouse Dental Care. Regardless of the causation, teeth grinding is one of the main precipitators for the recommendation of the use of night guards.
