Each year thousands of children receive dental injuries which could have been prevented or minimised had they been wearing a properly fitting mouthguard. Dental injuries can happen if your child participates in contact sports, for example football or rugby, but injuries can also occur in some less obvious non-contact sports such as skating, cricket, skiing and netball.
How Will a Mouthguard Protect Teeth?
A mouthguard will absorb some of the shock of a blow, and cushions the teeth and gums against this impact. It should be worn whenever your child plays or trains for any sport that could result in a dental injury.
Why Choose a Custom-Fitted Mouthguard?
A custom-fitted mouthguard offers the best level of protection. Our dentists will take an impression of your child’s mouth which is used to construct a plaster model. The mouthguard is then made using the model as a template which provides an accurate fit for your child’s mouth. We also take other factors into account, including the type of sports played so we can recommend the most appropriate mouthguard for these activities. The finished mouthguard will be comfortable to wear and will not restrict breathing or talking.
