Sports Mouthguards

Dental and facial injuries arising from sports-related trauma are common occurrences each year. While all sports carry a degree of risk for oral injury, activities involving physical contact or potential impact from objects like balls, bats, or sticks pose a higher likelihood.

Wearing a mouthguard is crucial to significantly reduce the chances of dental and facial injuries during sports incidents. These removable devices, often crafted from sturdy plastic, offer a comfortable fit over your teeth. Typically covering the top teeth, customization options are available to include the lower teeth based on individual requirements. Individuals with braces or specific dental work might need specialized mouthguards providing more extensive coverage.

In the realm of sports mouthguards, three options exist: pre-formed, ready-to-wear stock mouthguards, boil and bite mouthguards, and custom mouthguards tailored by your dentist. Our practice guides you in choosing the ideal sports mouthguard to safeguard your smile. While the initial two options offer some level of protection, the most effective and comfortable mouthguards for preserving your smile are those individually crafted and customized by your dentist.
