Mouthguard

sports safety · teeth protection · contact sports

Shields your teeth. A mouthguard covers your teeth and gums to stop them from getting knocked out, chipped, or damaged during contact sports like football, hockey, and boxing.

Reduces concussion risk. By preventing your jaws from slamming together completely, a mouthguard helps protect your brain from the shock of impacts to your face and head.

Helps at night too. Some people wear special mouthguards called nightguards while they sleep to protect their teeth if they grind them together (a habit called bruxism) or to help with jaw problems.

Custom or ready made. You can buy mouthguards at a sports store, or your dentist can create a custom one that fits your mouth perfectly for better protection.

Made by specialists. Dentists who focus on sports dentistry are specially trained to design and make mouthguards that work best for different activities and needs.
