Sports Mouth Guards

Sports Mouth Guards worn over your teeth, protects them from blows to the face and head. Mouth guards are an important piece of athletic equipment for anyone participating in a sport that involves falls, body contact or flying equipment. This includes rugby union, rugby league, football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, skateboarding, gymnastics, mountain biking — any activity that might result in an injury to the mouth.

Mouth guards typically cover the upper teeth, and are designed to protect against broken teeth, cut lips and other damage to your mouth. If you wear braces or other fixed dental appliances (such as a bridge) on your lower jaw, you may require a mouth protector for these teeth as well.

Mouth guards ideally should be replaced after each season as they can wear down over time, which makes them less effective. Replacing mouth guards for adolescents is important as their mouths continue to grow and teeth continue to develop into adulthood. 

Here at Richmond Dental Centre we custom-make mouth guards to fit your mouth accurately. They are comfortable to wear and give your teeth maximum protection from injury.
