A mouthguard is a flexible dental appliance worn to protect teeth from possible damage. They are usually made of plastic materials that fit comfortably over your teeth and gums. There are mouthguards available at sporting stores and online that will offer some protection. For the highest level of protection we recommend a custom fitted mouthguard that is made specifically for your smile.

Mouthguards have been shown to prevent major injuries including concussions, jaw fractures, neck injuries and more by protecting the lower jaw from impacting into the upper jaw. Mouthguards also prevent broken teeth, bruising and laceration of the lips and cheeks.

A mouthgaurd should offer proper protection and at the same time be comfortable. It should be kept clean, fit snugly and not affect your ability to breathe or speak.



Mouthgaurd Maintenance:
 
• Keep your mouthgaurd clean.
• Rinse your mouthguard with a mouthwash before and after each use. You can use a mild soap and a soft toothbrush as well.
• Store your mouthguard in the container that we provide you or in a similar hard container.
• Avoid exposing your mouthguard to heat including direct sunlight.
• Check for wear and tear and bring your mouth guard in to our office if you have any questions about its effectiveness.
