Why are Sports Mouthguards Important?
A mouthguard is a ‘crash helmet’ for your teeth and jaws that can keep you safer while you’re having fun.
We frequently see trauma and emergencies that could have been prevented. With a custom athletic mouth guard you could avoid these life-altering dental injuries:
- chipped teeth
- fractured crowns or bridgework
- cuts to lips and cheeks
- fractured jaws
- root damage to teeth
- concussions
Why Get a Custom Mouthguard?
Better fit means better protection.
Custom athletic mouthguards are comfortable to wear. They’re designed just for you so they’re easy to put in and take out. They stay securely on your teeth.
That means they provide more protection than over-the-counter or boil-and-bite mouthguards.
The more comfortable your mouthguard the more likely you are to wear it. And you can wear it with confidence, knowing you have optimum protection.
How Often Should Mouthguards be Replaced?
Sports guards become less effective when they lose thickness. So, if you find signs of wear and tear on yours, it’s probably time to replace it. When in doubt, it’s probably best to replace it.
Our Red Deer dentists also recommend replacing your children’s mouthguards regularly, to accommodate their rapid growth.
How To Care for My New Mouth Guard?
- After use, rinse your mouthguard with cold water and air-dry. You can clean it with mild soap and water occasionally.
- Store it in a plastic container when not in use to prevent damage from heat or cold.
- Do not chew or alter your mouthguard.
- Let us know if you notice any signs of wear or cracks that may weaken it.
