As part of our commitment to protecting your smile, our dentist and team offer customized sports mouth guards. We recommend that anyone participating in sports use a mouth guard to safeguard their teeth and smile. These guards fit comfortably over your teeth and help prevent injuries such as chipped or knocked-out teeth, as well as damage to the tongue, lips, cheeks, and gums. Additionally, custom mouth guards can reduce the risk of jaw and neck injuries during athletic activities.
Sports mouth guards are often required for high-contact sports like wrestling, football, hockey, rugby, soccer, basketball, and boxing. However, they can also be beneficial for individual activities like running or biking. Even if a mouth guard is not mandated, we suggest using one for added protection.
While generic “stock” mouth guards are available at most sporting goods stores, we recommend seeing our dentist for a custom-fitted mouth guard. Customized guards offer better protection and are more comfortable to wear.
