Sport Mouthguards
Mouth Guards Capalaba & Victoria Point
Thousands of people suffer unnecessary dental injuries because they don’t wear mouthguards
According to the Australian Dental Association, only 36% of children, even in areas like Capalaba and Victoria Point, use a sports mouthguard. Considering the vital role mouthguards play in overall health, this figure is startling. It’s crucial to note that sports mouthguards do more than just safeguard your teeth.
There are in fact 5 reasons why a mouthguard is good for:
- Cushions teeth against impact
- Protects against jaw joint injuries
- Protects against soft tissue injuries
- Helps prevent neck and jaw injuries
- May help reduce concussion
The most effective mouthguard option
You have two options for mouthguards: over-the-counter or custom-fitted. The issue with over-the-counter mouthguards is they don’t fit snuggly on your teeth. Generally, this type of mouthguard requires you to put it in hot water and then mould it to your teeth. Which is a problem because—according to the ADA—it lessens the effectiveness of the mouthguard. What this means is there’s a good chance, even while wearing an over-the-counter mouthguard, that you are risking damaging your teeth.
A custom-fitted mouthguard
- Well-fitting
- Speak clearly
- Won’t shift or fall out
- Won’t restrict your breathing
- Comfortable
