Sports Mouthguards

Each year, countless dental and facial injuries occur due to sports-related trauma. While all sports carry some risk of oral injury, the likelihood is higher in recreational activities that involve frequent physical contact with other players or the ground, as well as the potential for being hit by objects like balls, bats, or sticks.

To significantly reduce the chances of damaging your teeth, cheeks, lips, tongue, face, or jaw from a sports-related injury, wearing a mouthguard is crucial. A mouthguard is a removable device made of durable plastic that fits comfortably over your teeth. Typically, mouthguards are designed to cover only the top teeth, but they can also be customized to include the lower teeth, depending on your specific needs. Individuals with braces or certain dental work may require a specialized mouthguard that offers more coverage.
