Mouthguards are a protective guard for your teeth. Mouthguards protect the teeth, jawbone and gums from damage that can happen during contact sports or high impact activities.
A dental injury or trauma to the teeth, gums, or jawbone when you are not wearing a mouthguard may significantly impact and increase the risk of tooth fracture, jawbone fracture or damage to the gums. This can result in a situation where complex dental treatments may be required like reconstructive surgery of the jaw, root canal treatment of the teeth involved or even tooth loss may happen.
A well fitted, custom made mouthguard can save you a trip to the dentist and may help you avoid potentially expensive and painful treatments. Mouth guards are not only recommended for people playing sports but also for non-sporting activities that may cause severe trauma on your teeth and gums, especially where physical collisions may occur.
Custom Fitted Sports Mouthguard Cannon Hill
A custom fitted, sports mouthguard is purposely designed to fit your mouth and therefore, provides the best protection and comfort. There are Over the counter Mouthguards or Boil and Bite Mouthguards available these days, but they are not as effective as the custom fitted Mouthguard. They are not moulded to your teeth and therefore, do not fit your teeth properly. They can provide a temporary solution until you get a properly fitted Mouthguard.
