MOUTHGUARDS
Hundreds of thousands of Australians each year sustain dental injuries during competitive play, and a large number of those injured are children.
Research has shown that wearing custom-fit sports mouthguards can reduce the risk of severe injuries.
Anyone who plays sports or engages in athletic activity, whether competitive or not, can protect themselves by wearing an athletic mouthguard. We offer custom, form-fitting mouthguards to patients of all ages.
Damaging jaw and tooth impact can be caused by everything from a direct contact to an awkward or misplaced step while running. Custom-made Intact mouthguards provide stability to your jaw and cushion the blows that can cause severe dental injuries, like broken teeth, fractures in the jaw, gum lacerations and injuries to your lips or tongue caused by your own teeth.
Growing evidence suggests that quality, properly fitting mouthguards also reduce the forces that can cause concussions and neck injuries.
THE ADVANTAGE OF USING A DENTIST TO CREATE YOUR MOUTH GUARD
A dentist can ensure that your mouthguard is tightly fit to your teeth to provide maximum protection. We will make sure that the guard is fitted to protect your teeth, gums, lips, tongue and cheeks. We provide guards in different colours and designs.
