Why do I need a mouthguard?
Of all the sports equipment you or your child may need, a custom mouthguard is the most essential item in a sports bag. Engaging in sports activities increases the risk of damaging your teeth. Whether it’s a fall, contact with another player, or an impact from equipment, one accident can cause significant tooth damage or even result in the loss of teeth.
The Importance of Custom Fitted Mouthguards
A custom fitted mouthguard is designed to precisely match the unique shape of your teeth and mouth. Unlike generic options, custom mouthguards not only provide optimal protection but also allow for easier breathing and improved comfort.
The personalised fit of a custom fit mouthguard offers enhanced safety, reducing the chances of dental injuries and the need for complex dental treatments. Whether during practice or a competitive game, wearing a dental mouthguard can make all the difference in protecting your smile.
Advantages Over Store-Bought Options
The protection offered by professionally made custom mouthguards is unmatched by over-the-counter alternatives. These tailored guards provide superior cushioning against accidental blows to the face and help prevent severe injuries to teeth, gums, and jaw.
Caring for Your Mouthguard
To maintain the longevity and effectiveness of your dental mouthguard, it’s important to follow proper care guidelines:
- Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight to avoid warping.
- Rinse it thoroughly after every use and store it in its designated case to dry.
- Regular cleaning prevents bacterial growth, ensuring it remains hygienic and safe to use.
