What is a sports mouthguard?

A mouthguard is a specially made, rubber-like cover which fits exactly over your teeth and gums, cushioning and protecting them from damage. They may even help prevent concussion and damage caused by a heavy blow. Our dentist will be able to make you a mouthguard specifically for your mouth to help give you proper protection. We think it’s well worth the cost to provide the reassurance that you are properly protected. Depending on your age, your mouthguard may need replacing from time to time – it’s essential that it never becomes too loose. They come in many colours including striped, or clear or in your favourite team’s colours to match your sports’ strip! We strongly urge you not to be tempted to buy home kits as they may not be as robust and effective as a custom made mouthguard.

The benefits of using a Sports Mouthguard

The benefits of wearing a sports mouthguard extend beyond the immediate protection of your teeth and mouth. Here are key advantages:

Dental Protection

A sports mouthguard acts as a crucial barrier, shielding your teeth, gums, and jaw from impact, reducing the risk of fractures, dislocations, and other injuries.

Prevention of Soft Tissue Injuries

It helps prevent injuries to the lips, cheeks, tongue, and other soft tissues by providing a cushioning effect during sports activities.

Reduced Risk of Concussions

Certain types of mouthguards may also contribute to reducing the risk of concussions by absorbing and dispersing impact forces that could affect the jaw and head.

Custom Fit for Comfort

Custom-fitted sports mouthguards ensure a comfortable and secure fit, allowing for easy breathing and speaking without hindering athletic performance.

Enhanced Performance

Knowing that your teeth are protected can boost confidence and allow you to focus on your performance, whether in contact or non-contact sports.

Prevention of Emergency Dental Visits

Wearing a mouthguard significantly reduces the likelihood of dental emergencies, saving you from potential pain, discomfort, and costly dental treatments.

Long-Term Oral Health

By preventing injuries, a sports mouthguard contributes to the long-term health and integrity of your teeth and oral structures, preserving your smile for the future.

When would I need a mouthguard?

A sports mouthguard is essential whenever you engage in physical activities or sports that pose a risk of injury to your mouth, teeth, or jaw. Whether you participate in contact sports like football, hockey, or boxing, or non-contact activities like gymnastics or cycling, a sports mouthguard provides crucial protection. It helps minimise the risk of dental injuries, such as broken teeth, jaw fractures, or soft tissue damage, by acting as a cushion and absorbing impact forces. Wearing a sports mouthguard is a proactive measure to safeguard your oral health and prevent potential dental emergencies during sports and physical activities.
