Dentist Fitted Mouthguard Benefits

Posted on 3/21/2022 by Beautiful Smiles Office

As with airbags, mouthguards absorb impact shock and distribute pressure throughout the mouthguard's material rather than your teeth and jaws. Due to their ability to absorb and disperse energy, mouthguards can significantly reduce the likelihood of suffering an injury such as a knocked out tooth or a concussion.

If You Don't Wear a Mouthguard

Apart from team sports, even informal and non-competitive activities can be quite strenuous. A direct collision to the front of your face without a mouthguard may fracture or possibly knock one or more of your front teeth out. Getting hit on the lower jaw can cause the jaws to slam together, causing not just a lot of stress on your teeth, which can cause cracks and breaks, but also jaw fractures, TMJ joint injuries, and concussions. In children, sports injuries cause about 40% of oral damage. If you wear braces or if your child is an orthodontic patient, sports injuries can harm not only your teeth but also the delicate tissue inside your mouth.

How You Can Get a Mouthguard

A custom dentist-fitted mouthguard may be created and available to pick up in approximately a week at any of our dental locations. Custom colors and logos may be ordered to make your mouthguard as one-of-a-kind as you are. Boil and bite mouthguards are also available for purchase. You can also get them in a number of colors. Whatever type of mouthguard you pick, please choose one and wear it. Dental traumas, such as a lost front tooth, TMJ joint injury, and concussions, can have long-term and substantial effects on not just your teeth, but also your whole health. Please take the time to safeguard yourself and ensure you have the greatest chance of maintaining a healthy smile for the rest of your life.
