Why Mouthguards Are So Important to Protect Your Teeth
Every year, thousands of people have sporting injuries resulting in chipped, broken or knocked-out teeth. These injuries can also affect the cheeks, lips and tongue, and your jaws. The consequences can be devastating, and the cost of restorative care can mount up quickly. If you participate in any sports where you could take a blow to the mouth, it’s important to protect your mouth. The best way to do this is with a custom-made mouthguard from your dentist that offers superior protection and which is comfortable to wear.
Our mouthguards are made from a resilient and tear-resistant material that is odour and taste-free. When you have a custom-made mouthguard it will fit properly so there is no risk it will fall out. Importantly, custom-made mouthguards will not restrict your speech or breathing and because they are comfortable, they are more likely to be used. It’s a small investment in your dental health that can save you a lot of time and heartache.
