The Importance of Mouthguards

At Clarkson North Dental Care, Perth, WA, we understand the importance of safeguarding your smile, especially during contact sports or activities that carry a risk of dental injury. Many individuals, including children, seek treatment for dental injuries that could have been prevented or minimised with the use of a custom-fitted mouthguard. These protective devices act as a shield against damaged or knocked-out teeth, broken jaws, and cut lips that can occur during sports and other physical activities.

Mouthguards Are Essential for Athletes

A custom-fitted mouthguard does more than just protect your teeth; it ensures a comfortable fit that won’t interfere with your performance. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, wearing a sports mouthguard is essential to avoid serious injuries. They can safeguard against broken jaws, fractured or knocked-out teeth, and painful cuts to the lips and tongue. Investing in a mouthguard is a simple yet effective way to protect your dental health and overall well-being.

Injuries Can Happen in Any Sport

If you play a sport, you are at risk of injuring your teeth and mouth. This risk isn’t limited to contact sports like rugby, boxing, or hockey; it extends to games like basketball, soccer, netball, and even skateboarding. Dental injuries can be not only painful but also costly, leading to a lifetime of dental treatment. Mouthguards work by absorbing and dispersing the impact of a knock to the face, significantly reducing the risk of injury. Wearing a mouthguard during both training and game day is vital for protecting your smile.

More Than Just Sports Protection

Custom mouthguards aren’t just for athletes. They can also be beneficial for those who suffer from jaw issues or teeth grinding, conditions known as bruxism. We may recommend a specialised mouthguard to alleviate the discomfort caused by these issues. Additionally, we sometimes use specific types of mouthguards to help manage snoring or sleep apnea. This versatility makes mouthguards a great investment for everyone, not just athletes!
