Mouth Guards

Kids are notoriously clumsy, but add in a sporting environment and you’re in for trouble! Flying elbows, hockey sticks, even the ground can do severe damage to your child’s front teeth, so it is important to protect them wherever you can. The most common injury to teeth are to the most important teeth for your smile – the two central upper teeth – so we recommend having a custom-fitted mouthguard made for any contact sports.

Custom fitted mouth guards can be made in many colors, which make wearing them a bit more fun. They fit really well, unlike the ‘boil and bite’ mouth guards at sports stores, so they are comfortable and work much better. Most surprisingly to some, if you have health insurance, most health funds will pay for a custom mouth guard, often making it cheaper too!

Why Are Mouthguards Important?

Whether you’re playing contact sports, training in martial arts, or simply looking for extra protection for your teeth, a well-fitted mouthguard is essential. Dental injuries are common in sports, with the most affected teeth being the two front upper teeth. A properly fitted mouthguard helps prevent:

• Broken or knocked-out teeth
• Cuts to lips, tongue, and cheeks
• Jaw fractures
• Concussions caused by direct impact to the jaw

Don’t risk a costly and painful dental injury—invest in a mouthguard that provides superior protection and comfort.
