Frequently Ask Question
Mouth guards are protective devices worn over the teeth and gums to prevent injuries during sports activities or teeth grinding. They act as a cushion, absorbing and distributing the impact of blows, reducing the risk of dental trauma. Mouth guards are important for maintaining oral health and preserving the integrity of your teeth.
Anyone who participates in sports activities that involve contact or potential injury should wear a mouth guard. This includes athletes of all ages, from children to adults. Additionally, individuals who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) should consider wearing a night guard to protect their teeth and alleviate associated symptoms.
While over-the-counter mouthguards are readily available, they often provide a less secure fit and may be less effective in protecting your teeth. Custom-fitted mouth guards, created by dental professionals, offer a precise fit that enhances comfort and provides better protection. Custom mouthguards are highly recommended for optimal safety and performance.
The lifespan of a mouthguard depends on several factors, including frequency of use, care, and the individual’s growth and development (in the case of children). On average, mouthguards can last between one and three years.
Proper care is crucial to maintaining the effectiveness and longevity of your mouth guard. After each use, rinse it with cool water or mouthwash to remove debris. Brush your mouth guard gently with a toothbrush and mild soap or toothpaste. Store it in a ventilated container to prevent moisture buildup.
