Custom-Made Mouthguards
All sports involve some level of risk. However, losing your teeth shouldn’t be one of them if you use a custom-made mouthguard. In sports, accidents are bound to happen. That’s why custom-made mouthguards are highly recommended as they offer the best protection for your mouth and teeth during sports activities. With a reduction in oral injuries by about 90%, these mouthguards help prevent painful accidents and damage.
Off-the-shelf mouthguards are not as effective as custom-made ones that fit your mouth properly. Custom-made mouthguards provide superior protection for your teeth and jaw against direct impact, reducing the risk of injury while playing sports.
What Is It?
Custom-made mouthguards are designed to safeguard your teeth and prevent injuries during sports activities. In fact, sports-related injuries are the primary cause of tooth damage. With a custom-made mouthguard, you can ensure that you and your teeth are adequately protected every time you play.
A well-fitted mouthguard is crucial for providing optimal protection. It should be appropriately thick in the right areas, durable, and comfortable to wear. Moreover, it shouldn’t affect your ability to speak or breathe comfortably. We can fit you with a custom-made mouthguard that meets all these requirements and offers superior protection for your teeth while playing sports.

FAQs
When your wisdom teeth erupt the pain can be constant or it can come and go. It can begin as minor pain and get more severe as the gums become inflamed and irritated around the tooth. In most cases, wisdom teeth pain won’t go away until the tooth causing you problems is removed. The pain may temporarily disappear but will return and cause discomfort again. Wisdom tooth removal is the best option for permanent pain relief.
Wisdom tooth discomfort is distinct from other types of bodily discomfort. It may feel bothersome and irritating, resulting in swelling and inflammation in your mouth. Occasionally, you might have jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and encounter issues while brushing and swallowing. If you have wisdom teeth problems, we recommend making an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible.
