What are Mouth Guards?
Mouth guards are oral appliances that you wear over your teeth during sports or other physical activities. Contact sports such as hockey, football and basketball can leave your mouth open to painful injury from impacts and hard falls. Common sports-related injuries include chipped or broken teeth, cuts and scrapes on the lips or gums, knocked-out teeth, broken jaw and concussion. A properly-fitted mouth guard can absorb the shock of impacts and falls and reduce the trauma to your mouth and face.
Our dentist recommends a custom-made mouth guard for athletes of all ages. An effective mouth guard should be comfortable, durable and fitted to your bite. Store-bought mouth guards are a more convenient alternative but are often bulky, poorly fitted and uncomfortable. Getting your mouth guard custom-made at our office will help avoid slipping or impeding your speech so you can perform on the field or court with confidence. If you have braces, a dental bridge or other dental work, our dentist may recommend special appliances to protect these teeth.
Custom Night Guards
Mouth guards aren’t just for athletes. For patients who suffer from nighttime bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching teeth during sleep), our dentist recommends night guards. Symptoms of nighttime bruxism include worn teeth, jaw pain, headaches and even chipped or broken teeth. Made from the same durable material as a regular mouth guard, night guards protect your teeth from the effects of bruxism and help maintain the overall health of your smile.
