Mouthguard

Mouthguard

A mouthguard is a dental appliance that is worn over the teeth and gums to protect the mouth from injury during sports or other physical activities. Mouthguards can be made of a variety of materials, including rubber, plastic, and silicone, and can be custom-fitted to the patient’s teeth for maximum comfort and protection.

Benefits of wearing a mouthguard include:

1. Protection from injury: Mouthguards provide a barrier between the teeth and the soft tissue of the mouth, helping to prevent cuts, bruises, and other types of injury that can occur during sports or physical activities.
2. Prevention of tooth damage: Mouthguards can help to protect chipped or broken teeth by cushioning the impact of a blow to the face or mouth.
3. Protection from jaw injuries: Mouthguards can also help to protect the jaw and prevent fractures or other injuries that can occur during physical activity.
4. Improved performance: By protecting the mouth and teeth, mouthguard can help athletes to feel more confident and focused during sports or other physical activities.
5. Cost-effective: Mouthguards are a cost-effective way to prevent dental injuries and avoid the need for more expensive dental treatments in the future.
