Dental sports guards, commonly known as mouthguards or athletic mouth protectors, are essential oral appliances designed to safeguard teeth and oral structures during sports and physical activities. These custom-fit, flexible devices provide a cushioning barrier that absorbs and dissipates impact forces, helping prevent dental injuries such as chipped, fractured, or knocked-out teeth, as well as lip and gum injuries.
Dental sports guards are particularly crucial for individuals engaging in contact sports or activities with a risk of facial or oral trauma. They are custom-made by dental professionals using impressions of the patient’s teeth, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit that doesn’t impede speech or breathing.
Wearing a well-fitted sports guard not only reduces the likelihood of dental injuries but also minimizes the risk of concussion by absorbing and dispersing impact forces. It is a vital accessory for athletes of all ages, levels, and sports disciplines, contributing to overall safety and long-term oral health. Proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning and replacement, ensure the continued effectiveness of dental sports guards.
