Dental sports guards, also called athletic mouthguards, are protective oral appliances worn over the teeth during sports activities. They cushion impacts to the face, help prevent broken or knocked-out teeth, protect the jaw, and reduce injuries to the lips and tongue.
Why Are Sports Guards Important?
Sports guards are recommended for athletes involved in contact or high-impact sports. Without proper protection, injuries such as cracked or knocked-out teeth, jaw fractures, and soft tissue damage may occur. Custom dental sports guards offer a higher level of protection, comfort, and fit compared to over the counter options.
