Mouthguards

A custom fitted mouthguard really does make a difference in protecting your teeth.

Custom mouthguards are made to fit the teeth and gums closely and therefore offer greater comfort and protection than pre-fabricated mouthguards. They help minimise dental injury but can also reduce the severity of concussion whilst playing contact sports.

 A mouthguard is not limited to a professional sports person – they are for all sports people, of all ages, at all levels of competition. A custom fitted mouthguard has 9x more protection than a ‘Boil & Bite’ mouthguard.

They are more comfortable, allow you to speak and breathe with ease and they have a greater feeling of security when wearing them.

Professionally fitted mouthguards can greatly reduce the chances of tooth damage or painful laceration of lips and mouth. Mouthguards also assist to absorb the impact which may cause a broken jaw or even concussion.

Sports mouthguards – your child’s first line of defence

Children’s teeth are particularly vulnerable to sporting injury and parents should insist on the best possible protection. Mouthguards will also help the child’s confidence and will give the parent peace of mind.

How to clean and store your mouthguard.

Mouthguards are best kept clean by rinsing under cold water after use. They may be brushed very lightly with soapy water. They should be stored in a plastic container and should be kept away from heat and sunlight.
