Many of us play sports that have high risk of contact and therefore your teeth and mouth are at risk of serious dental injury which may involve the loss of one or more teeth, broken or chipped teeth, broken jaws and soft tissue damage to the mouth. According to the Australian Dental Association (ADA) about one third of traumatic injuries to teeth are sports related and studies have suggested that 50% of children will experience some form of dental injury.
Dental injuries to the mouth during sport can be easily minimised or prevented by using a custom fitted mouthguard. The benefits of a custom made mouthguard created by dentists is that they are especially designed to fit the contours and shape of your mouth hence making them more comfortable to wear, more retentive and hence offer more protection and also allows you to breathe and speak more naturally.
So to avoid a lifetime of expenses and dental treatment after a sporting injury, contact us today for an appointment.
