Sports Mouthguards

Every year, numerous dental and facial injuries result from sports-related trauma. While all sports entail some risk of oral injury, activities involving frequent physical contact with other players or the ground, as well as the potential for impact from objects like balls, bats, or sticks, pose a higher likelihood.

To significantly diminish the risk of dental and facial injuries from sports-related incidents, it is crucial to wear a mouthguard. This removable device, typically made of durable plastic, comfortably fits over your teeth. Although mouthguards are generally designed to cover the top teeth, customization to include the lower teeth is possible based on individual needs. Individuals with braces or specific dental work may require a specialized mouthguard offering more extensive coverage.

There are three types of sports mouthguards: pre-formed, ready-to-wear stock mouthguards, boil and bite mouthguards, and custom mouthguards created by your dentist. Our office will assist you in choosing the ideal sports mouthguard to safeguard your smile. While the first two options offer some protection, the most effective and comfortable mouthguards for preserving your smile are those individually designed and customized by your dentist.
