Oral injuries, ranging from chipped or broken teeth to injuries affecting the tongue, lips, face or jaw, are unfortunately quite common. Sports-related activities contribute significantly to these injuries, with 39% of dental injuries occurring during some kind of sport and approximately 75% affecting visible teeth. Harmony Family Dental is committed to addressing this concern by providing sports mouthguards to help prevent injuries during sports activities.
A sports mouthguard is a custom-created plastic dental appliance designed to be worn over the teeth, providing protection against injuries to the face and head during sports activities. Individuals engaging in contact sports with potential for body contact, falls or flying equipment should consider using a sports guard to prevent oral injuries. While over-the-counter sports guard options are available, custom-made sports guards offer superior fit and effectiveness. Harmony Family Dental is pleased to provide customized sports mouthguards tailored to the unique shape of each patient’s mouth and teeth. Custom-fit guards are more comfortable, facilitate easier breathing and speaking, and offer enhanced protection against impacts, potential tooth damage and injuries. Wearing a sports mouthguard is particularly crucial for individuals with braces or other fixed orthodontic appliances, as a sports mouthguard helps safeguard both the fixed oral appliance and the soft tissues inside the mouth from injuries.
Research has also shown that mouth guards may possibly even improve your golf game!
