What is a Sleep Guard?
A sleep guard, also known as a night guard, is a custom-fitted device worn over your teeth while you sleep to prevent grinding and clenching, conditions known as bruxism.
This guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the risk of tooth damage, jaw pain, and other related issues. Sleep guards are designed to be comfortable and discreet, allowing you to rest easy while safeguarding your smile and promoting overall oral health.
What is a Sports Guard?
A sports guard, also known as a mouthguard, is a protective device worn over your teeth during physical activities to prevent injuries to your teeth, gums, and jaw.
Custom-fitted for comfort and effectiveness, a sports guard cushions impacts and reduces the risk of dental trauma, such as broken teeth, cut lips, and other injuries. Whether you’re playing contact sports or engaging in recreational activities, a sports guard is essential for protecting your smile and ensuring your safety.

Meet Dr. Eddie Rodgers
Originally from Batesburg, SC, Dr. Rodgers grew up in Lexington County and always knew that he wanted to return to the area to raise his family and eventually to practice dentistry. His enthusiasm for the dental profession and his care for others is evident in the gracious, empathetic manner in which he treats all of his patients. Dr. Rodgers’ dedication to a high standard of healthcare is the foundation upon which Northwood Dental Associates is built.

My first visit was today...my tech was the best ever. Kept me entertained the entire process. Everyone was so friendly and couldn’t have had a better experience from front door to the dentist himself!

I can not say enough great things about Northwood Dental and their staff. They are always pleasant and Dr. Rodgers is just top notch. You are not a number, you are a person and they treat you with respect.
Summer J.
Very friendly hygienists and dentist. They do a great job. I have never had any pain going here because they are so careful, and I feel I can trust Dr. Rodgers unlike my last dentist who was clearly just out to make money.
Crystal L.
I can't praise this office enough! The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. The dentists are, hands down, the best in this area-my children are also patients.
