Dental mouth guards have been long used to help protect athletes teeth from trauma and injury. While more than 3.5 million young athletes are injured each year playing sports, you can help protect your teeth, gums, and jaw by wearing a custom athletic mouthguard.
A mouthguard’s purpose is to prevent injury and protect the teeth, jaw and soft tissue from a trauma. While we know sports injuries are prevalent, the ADA says 1/3 of all dental injuries are sports related. Inexpensive store mouth guards are bulky and don’t provide as much full protection as a custom mouth guard. A custom mouth guard offers significantly more protection by adapting to your teeth and offers the highest level of comfort and stability. This means it is important to invest in a product that can protect your smile long term. if Our team is here to help you protect your teeth by creating a mouthguard you feel comfortable to play, but also maintain your oral health and safety.
A custom mouth guard will offer the most protection because it is well fitted and positioned to your mouth. You should care for it so it works properly and keeps your mouth safe. It is recommended to keep it clean after use and occasionally soak it in mouth rinse for sanitation. To avoid any distortion to the mouth guard and shape changes, protect your mouth guard from high temperatures. If you wear a mouthguard for sports or sleep frequently, check it for wear and if it looks worn, speak to Dr. Sugiki about replacement.
