What Is a Mouth Guard?
We commonly see dental sporting injuries such as broken teeth and/or jaw that could have been prevented by using a mouth guard. Hence, when playing any high impact sport such as Football, Soccer, Hockey, Boxing or any form of Martial art, it is recommended to wear a mouth guard to reduce the risk of injury.
Custom fitting mouth guards can be made for both adults and children and provide the best fit, comfort, and protection for your teeth. Generic mouthguards are not fitted specifically to your teeth and there is a risk injury can still occur. Whereas a custom mouth guard is made to fit your exact specifications and will provide the best protection against injury.
Procedure for a Mouth Guard
Getting a custom mouth guard made is a quick, easy, and painless process. The dentist will need to make an impression of your teeth, you then select the colour and the mouth guard is made within 7 days. It can also be customised to match the colour of your sporting team.
Taking care of your mouthguard
Wash your mouthguard in lukewarm water and rinse well before and after using. Do not chew on your mouthguard and store it in its protective container. Keep it away from your pets as they may end up chewing the mouth guard.
