If you’re regularly involved in athletics, wearing a mouthguard is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself against an emergency.
At Blacktown Dental Group, we offer custom-fitted athletic mouthguards that offer a higher level of protection when compared to over-the-counter products. Since each one is moulded to your unique teeth, they:
- Fit more securely
- Feel more comfortable to wear
- Are less prone to falling out due to trauma
- Reduce the risk of concussions
- Lower the chance of having teeth knocked out
- Are easier to wear when speaking and hydrating
Because over-the-counter products are ‘one size fits most’, they tend to fit more loosely and are bulkier to wear. When a guard is made from a replica of your exact bite, it fits like a glove.
Adults can continue wearing their athletic mouthguard year after year, but younger individuals whose teeth are still erupting will need to have a new one made each season.
