I am always amazed at the number of people I see taking to the sporting field each week, who are not wearing a mouthguard.
Or those people who have badly fitting mouthguards so they are constantly taking them out or chewing on them. These badly fitted mouthguards will not protect you from an injury.
Dental injuries can be painful, disfiguring and expensive to treat. They can result in time off from work or school to recover and lengthy (expensive) dental treatments.
Custom made mouthguard
Custom made mouthguards are made by a dentist by taking an impression of your teeth. The mouthguard is then made to fit your mouth. Children's mouthguard's require special construction when they are waiting for their adult teeth to appear after they have lost a baby tooth or when they have braces.
Because the mouthguard is made specifically for your mouth it is more comfortable to wear. Custom mouthguards also provide more protection for an impact than those styles of mouthguards that are bought at sports shops or pharmacies
We see too many dental injuries that could have been prevented by wearing a mouthguard and around 70% of those dental injuries are to people under 25 years old so it is especially important for children to wear them.
CUSTOM MOUTHGUARDS are FREE if you have dental insurance! or $160 if you do not have dental insurance
A custom mouthguard is the most important piece of sporting equipment. Make sure you wear it at all times, playing a game or at training.
If your mouthguard is at all uncomfortable it is time to get a new mouthguard.
Replace your child's mouthguard every 12 to 18 months as their mouths are growing and changing and a new mouthguard will ensure the best fit for the next sporting season.
A dentist should check your mouthguard every 12 months to check the fit of the mouthguard, and to make sure it is still in good condition. This can be done at your regular check up.
How to look after your mouthguard
To take care of your mouthguard you should clean it after each use with a small amount of toothpaste. Allow it to airdry and store in a cool place in a well ventilated container. Do not keep your mouthguard in the car. The heat of the car will affect the fit of your mouthguard over time.
