Sports Mouthguards

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

To significantly reduce the risk of dental, facial, or jaw injuries resulting from sports-related incidents, it is essential to wear a mouthguard. A mouthguard is a removable device made of durable plastic that comfortably fits over your teeth. Typically designed to cover the top teeth, it can also be customized to include the lower teeth based on your specific needs. Individuals with braces or certain dental work may require a specialized mouthguard offering more coverage.

Three types of sports mouthguards are available: pre-formed 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 protect your smile. While the first two options offer some protection, the most effective and comfortable mouthguards for safeguarding your smile are those individually designed and customized by your dentist.
