Mouthguards
Any colour or combination of colours Name and Logo inclusion service Aftercare in Dental Surgery by Dentist
There are three types of mouthguards:
The readymade,or stock, mouthguard; the mouth-formed
“boil-and-bite” mouthguard; and the custom mouthguard
made by a dentist.
Choose a mouthguard that is resilient and tear-resistant;
fits properly, is comfortable, easy to clean, and does not restrict speech or breathing.
Your dentist can make a custom mouthguard for you or your child that is comfortable and offers superior protection.
Treating a sports related dental injury can cost thousands of pounds. A custom mouthguard is a worthwhile
investment.
While custom mouthguards are considered
to be the most protective option, some people are still opting for the cheaper options
Unfortunately when they have a sports related accident, their teeth often get badly damaged as a result of this poor choice.
Mouthguards help reduce the risk of:
Chipping and breaking of teeth
Jaw injuries
Cuts to the lips and gums
Concussion
