Any time you are playing a contact sport, we recommend that you wear a protective mouthguard. At Designer Dental Studio we have seen many patients whose dental injuries have been caused by lack of protection and could have easily been avoided by wearing a custom mouthguard. Injuries experienced can result in significant tooth discomfort and long term dental concerns. Unprotected teeth can fracture, or fall out completely when the face and mouth area is hit by an object or another player. These aren’t scare tactics we are employing. We have seen the results firsthand, many times. In some clashes, front teeth can also pierce the tongue or lower lip. Again, not a pleasant experience and can be avoided.
Many different kinds of mouthguards are available. Many people are aware of pharmacy-bought mouthguards, which soften in hot water and mould to the shape of the teeth. These mouthguards offer some degree of protection, but fit poorly only covering the teeth and still will allow certain types of dental injuries to occur.
Custom mouthguards, available at Designer Dental Studio, are thicker and stronger than pharmacy-bought mouthguards. They not only protect your teeth, but the soft tissues of your lips and gums. They offer full mouth protection.
Custom mouthguards are designed on an individual basis and can be manufactured in a variety of colours. If you play for a team, you mouthguard can even show your team colours.
If your play a contact sport, and currently DON'T have a custom mouthguard, please contact Designer Dental Studio to book in a consultation. Fill in the contact form and we can schedule you an appointment today. We'd like to prevent those dental emergencies from the very beginning.
