A properly fitted mouthguard is an important gear that can protect your smile from sports injuries. Mouthguard is a device you wear over your teeth to cushion impact that may otherwise cause jaw injuries, broken teeth, cuts to your lips or face, and other damage to your mouth.
If you play sports that involve body contact, falls, or flying equipment such as rugby, basketball, or soccer, a mouthguard will help protect you from injuries and will reduce concussions. Our dentists can make you or your child a custom mouthguard that fits you properly. Remember, mouthguards that don’t fit you well cannot effectively protect you.
