Mouthguards
Mouthguards are like a helmet for your teeth!
Mouthguards are particularly important for ALL AGES when playing ANY contact sport.
Admire Dentistry provides custom-fitted mouthguards for all sporting types. Injuries to the teeth, mouth and the jaw are some of the most common injuries that occur on the sporting field. Getting your child to wear a mouthguard earlier will ensure they get used to wearing and talking with it while playing sports. Doing so can create habits so they continue to wear mouthguards while playing sports later on in life.
How Do Mouthguards Protect Your Teeth?
A mouthguard is a cushioning appliance made of flexible material that fits firmly over the teeth to prevent injuries. A custom fitting mouthguard is essentially a helmet for your teeth. It acts as a shock absorber and reduces the risk of injury to the teeth and jaw joint while preventing you from biting your lips, tongue or cheeks.
Regardless of age or the contact sport, our team always recommends a custom mouthguard. These can be very affordable and can save you thousands of dollars in damages that could be caused when not wearing one. Damages to the hard and soft tissues of the mouth can be very expensive to repair, and can lead to long term functional problems later in life.
