Mouthguards

Protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from injuries.

A mouthguard is a protective oral device worn to shield teeth, gums, and jaw from injuries sustained during sports or other physical activities.

Also called a sports mouthguard or mouth protector, this essential piece of athletic gear is crucial for preventing dental trauma, concussions, and soft tissue injuries. By distributing impact forces, mouthguards significantly reduce the risk of severe oral and facial damage.

Whether you're a professional athlete or a recreational sports enthusiast, a custom-fitted mouthguard is an essential investment that protects your smile and well-being.

Caring For Your Mouthguard

Just like your teeth, your custom-fitted mouthguard requires proper care to maintain its effectiveness and hygiene. Here are some essential tips for keeping your mouthguard in top condition:

Rinse thoroughly after each use. Use cool water to remove any saliva or debris from the surface.
Brush your mouthguard daily. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap, gently clean your mouthguard to remove bacteria and prevent odors.
Store your mouthguard properly. Keep it in a ventilated container to prevent warping or damage. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
Bring your mouthguard to your dental appointments. Your dentist can inspect your mouthguard for wear and tear and recommend replacement if needed.

When to Replace Your Mouthguard

Due to expected wear and tear, it is generally recommended to replace your mouthguard annually. Over time, the mouthguard can become thinner, compromising its ability to protect your teeth. Here are signs that it's time for a new one:

Cracks, tears, or holes compromise the mouthguard's protective abilities.
A loose or ill-fitting mouthguard is ineffective and uncomfortable.
Discoloration or odor can indicate bacterial buildup and potential hygiene issues.

Children and teenagers with developing mouths and jaws or undergoing orthodontic treatment may require more frequent adjustments or replacements. Consulting with your dentist or orthodontist will help determine the appropriate timeline for replacing your child's mouthguard.
