Custom Mouthguards Keeping your teeth safe in sport
We talk about ‘prevention is best’ and that’s certainly the case when it comes to looking after your child’s teeth if they’re playing sport. A custom mouthguard that is fitted by one of our team can prevent serious trauma, such as teeth being impacted, broken, or worse – being knocked out completely.
If your child is involved in contact sports, a custom mouthguard is an essential investment and should be replaced every year to ensure optimal fit, because as children grow, their teeth and mouth change too. While a custom mouthguard cannot prevent every injury, they can reduce the impact and in many cases, prevent serious damage from being sustained. Our mouthguards are:
- Available in many colours, including single and multiple shades
- Made with alginate impressions
- Customised for each patient to achieve maximum comfort and best fit.
Mouthguards that are fitted by a dental professional offer other benefits too. They help with breathing that enhances athletic performance. Conversely, a mouthguard not fitted correctly can cause breathing and balance issues.
Are you a weekend warrior? You might need a mouthguard
Many adults who play weekend sports overlook the importance of a custom fitted mouthguard, however just like children, a mouthguard that is correctly fitted can prevent or limit injury. So if you’re a weekend athletic warrior, get in touch and we’ll help keep your teeth safe in sport.
