Mouthguards are recommended for any one involved in sport and a custom fitted mouthguard can be professionally made in the dental studio to suit the demands of the sport and the athlete. A mouthguard generally covers the upper teeth and offers protection for the teeth, alveolar bone and soft tissue.
A mouthguard should
- Fit well
- Be comfortable
- Be durable and easy to clean
- Not restrict speech and breathing
- Be kept in the mouthguard box when not in use
- Be checked by the dentist at your regular check ups for wear, tear and fit
