A mouth guard is a device custom-fitted to your teeth. It serves as protection for your teeth, jaws, and skull during certain activities. These activities are generally decided by those that include high-impact forces. This may include sports such as:
The Australian Dental Association (ADA) highly recommends players wear a mouthguard. This includes sports or other activities that have a high risk of facial impact. Without a mouthguard, a severe sports injury could result in devastating dental trauma.
Mouthguards serve as a buffer against impact. The soft but resilient material absorbs the shock. By spreading the impact across its surface, your teeth and jaw absorb less of the impact. When you reach out to us today, we can provide this same protection for you.
If you grind your teeth at night, you're not alone. Many people grind their teeth while they sleep, and over time, this can cause significant damage to your teeth and jaw. One way to protect your teeth and prevent further damage is to use an occlusal splint. An occlusal splint is a custom-made dental device that fits over your upper or lower teeth, creating a barrier between your teeth and preventing them from grinding together. This can help to reduce the damage caused by teeth grinding and can also relieve the symptoms associated with this condition, such as headaches, jaw pain, and tooth sensitivity. At Essential Dental Group, we can create a custom occlusal splint that fits comfortably in your mouth and provides the protection you need to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
Don't let an injury keep you from doing what you love. Stay protected with our quality mouthguards that keep you in the game. Reach out to our dentist at Essential Dental Group for your custom-made mouthguard today.
