Mouthguards
Mouthguards protect your teeth and gums by covering them. Over-the-counter mouthguards do not fit or protect your teeth as well as custom-fitted mouthguards. The problem related to bruxism or teeth grinding can be resolved by mouthguards. They should be worn by both children and adults during contact sports and activities like motorcycling.
What Is A Mouthguard?
Mouthguards are dental appliances that protect your teeth from damage. A mouthguard protects your tongue, teeth, gums, and cheeks from sports injuries and grinding or clenching. A mouthguard may be required for children or adults. If you or your child suffers from any of the following conditions, your healthcare professional may recommend a mouthguard.
- Bruxism or teeth grinding
- Plays a physical sport such as baseball, basketball lacrosse, hockey, or soccer where a hit to the face is a possibility
- Participates in noncontact activities or sports that have a high danger of falling, such as ice skating, gymnastics, or biking
