Sports Mouthguards

Every year, numerous dental and facial injuries result from sports-related accidents. While all sports carry a degree of oral injury risk, recreational activities involving frequent physical contact or exposure to flying objects pose a higher likelihood of injury.

To significantly mitigate the risk of tooth, cheek, lip, tongue, facial, or jaw injuries during sports activities, wearing a mouthguard is essential. A mouthguard is a removable device crafted from sturdy plastic, designed to comfortably fit over your teeth. Typically, mouthguards cover the upper teeth, but customization options exist to include the lower teeth as needed. Individuals with braces or specific dental treatments may require specialized mouthguards offering extended coverage and protection.

Three varieties of sports mouthguards are accessible: pre-formed stock mouthguards, boil and bite mouthguards, and custom mouthguards crafted by your dentist. Our practice will guide you in choosing the perfect sports mouthguard for your smile protection needs. Although the first two options offer a degree of protection, the most efficient and comfortable mouthguards for preserving your smile are those tailored and personalized by your dentist.
