At Hyde Park Dentistry, we’re committed to helping our patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health, including when they’re engaging in sports and other recreational activities. One way we do this is by offering custom sports mouthguards that provide superior protection compared to over-the-counter options.
Professionally fitted sports mouthguards can help prevent concussions and common dental emergencies in athletes, and can be personalized to your preferences.
Over-the-counter mouthguards can be purchased at nearly any sporting goods store, but they are not customized to fit your mouth and specific anatomy. As such, they often fall out when you need them most or feel too bulky to wear.
Custom sports mouthguards, on the other hand, are made from a precise mold of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable, snug fit. That way, they stay put during intense physical activity, even if it involves a hit or a fall. They are made from high-quality materials that are designed to last and provide optimal protection to your teeth, lips, cheeks, and jaws.
While sports mouthguards are primarily designed to protect your teeth and gums, they’re also proven to help reduce the risk of concussion. Recent studies have shown that professionally made mouthguards can help absorb the force of impact.
Dental emergencies are extremely common during physical activities. Common dental injuries in athletes include things like knocked-out teeth, chipped or broken teeth, and soft tissue injuries to the lips and tongue. Wearing a fitted mouthguard can significantly reduce your risk of a dental emergency or lessen the amount of damage if you’re injured.
