Sports Mouth Guards
</h1 > Sports guards or mouth guards are devices worn over the teeth to protect the mouth and teeth during sports or other physical activities. Sports guards are typically made of soft plastic material and are custom-fit to the individual’s teeth. Our dentist in Kendall, FL, will take customized high-quality mouth guards that will fit inside your mouth perfectly and comfortably.
Who should get sports guards?
Anyone who participates in sports or other physical activities that could result in a blow to the face or mouth can benefit from sports guards. This includes athletes of all ages, from children to adults, who participate in contact sports such as lacrosse, football, hockey, and
basketball, as well as non-contact sports such as gymnastics and skateboarding.
What are the benefits?
The benefits of sports guards include:
- Protection against dental injuries– Sports guards can protect against dental injuries such as broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and lip and tongue injuries.
- Prevention of concussions– Sports guards can also help prevent concussions by absorbing shock and reducing the impact of a blow to the head.
- Comfortable fit– Custom fit sports guards provide a comfortable fit and do not interfere with breathing or speaking during physical activity.
- Cost savings- Preventing dental injuries through the use of sports guards can save patients money on costly dental procedures in the future.
