Sportsguards in Richmond Hill

Sportsguards, also known as mouthguards, are flexible dental appliances worn by athletes to protect teeth from possible damage. They are usually made of plastic materials that fit comfortably over your teeth and gums. There are over-the-counter variations available, but for the highest level of protection we recommend a custom fitted sportsguard that is made specifically for your mouth.

Sportsguards protect not only your teeth and jaw, but can also prevent concussions, neck injuries as well as lacerations of your lips and cheeks.

Whenever there is a possibility of contact either with other competitors or any immovable objects, we highly recommend the use of a sportsguard.

Many schools and sports leagues require athletes to wear sportsguards during both practice and actual competition. Even if this is not mandatory, sportsguards should be worn during active involvement in sports. Parents in particular be sure that their children are protecting their winning smiles.

If you'll be playing contact sports this season, contact us at Dentistry in Oak Ridges to schedule an appointment to have your sportsguard fitted.
