SPORTS DENTISTRY

Gum Guards

Custom designed for patient’s mouth to use for the protection of teeth and gums  during any contact sport. Because it is custom made for your teeth it fits tight and does not fall out during sporting activities.

​

With no mouthguard, a blow to the lower face sends shock waves through the skull. A direct impact can fracture the front teeth. In some cases, the transmitted forces can lead to a fracture of the lower jaw, or will travel through the jaw joint (TMJ) into the base of the skull causing a concussion. It is thus very important to always wear a mouthguard during contact sport activities.
