Mouthguards
If you or your child are involved in athletic activities or sports, a trip to see our Adelaide CBD family dentist is in order.
What does dental care have to do with your next soccer game or wrestling match? Emergency prevention. It turns out that the majority of sports related injuries are caused by trauma to the mouth. Lip lacerations and knocked out (or broken) teeth are some of the most common.
Wearing a protective mouthguard will help prevent serious injury to your teeth and mouth.
Choosing the Best Type of Mouthguard
There are several types of mouthguards available on the market. Not all offer the same level of protection. Which is why we recommend to our patients a custom fitted mouthguard.
These individualized mouth guards offer:
- A secure fit, so that it stays in place throughout the entire activity
- Greater comfort
- The highest level of protection against concussion
- Freedom to drink water or talk without taking the mouthguard out
Each custom mouthguard fits your smile “like a glove” so that you can focus on the game at hand. They’re available for people of all ages, including adults and young children. As your child grows, he or she will need to have newer guards made to accommodate their developing smile.
