Engaging in sports and physical activities is great for health, but it also poses a risk to your teeth and mouth. To mitigate this risk, wearing a sports mouth guard is a smart and necessary precaution. Our dentist and team is dedicated to providing athletes with custom-fitted sports mouth guards, ensuring maximum protection for your teeth during any sporting activity.
Understanding Sports Mouth Guards
Sports mouth guards are essential protective devices for anyone participating in contact sports or activities where there is a risk of impact to the face. These guards are designed to:
- Cushion blows that could cause broken teeth or injuries to the lips, tongue, face or jaw
- Reduce the severity and incidence of concussions
- Be comfortable, resilient and easy to clean
- Fit perfectly without hindering speech or breathing
The Sports Mouth Guard Process
Getting your custom-fitted sports mouth guard involves a simple and precise process:
- Personal Assessment: We evaluate your mouth and discuss your specific sports needs.
- Impressions: Accurate impressions of your teeth are taken to ensure a snug fit.
- Custom Creation: Your mouth guard is crafted from durable materials in a lab.
- Fitting Session: We ensure your new mouth guard fits perfectly for optimal protection and comfort.
