Custom Mouthguards in Southport
At Dental On Falconer, you can find a broad variety of dental solutions to suit your every need. If you are involved in sport, you’ve likely experienced an injury that affected your jaw, teeth or tongue. A mouth guard will fit snugly over teeth and can be worn during practice or a game. You can even have your mouthguard created in your team colours if you’d like.
Chemist Vs Custom-Created Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are available in the chemist. So what makes our custom-made mouthguards superior? Since they’re custom-fitted, they’ll be comfortable yet give better protection to your mouth and jaw. If not made by a professional, the mouth guard will feel bulky and not fit your mouth properly. You likely won’t be able to speak well and may even feel that breathing is more difficult. With our mouth guards, you’ll be able to talk to others as normal.
Mouth Guards for Children
According to the Australian Dental Association, a third of teeth injuries come from playing sport. Sports Medicine Australia states that 50% of children experience an injury related to their dental health. It’s vital that your children, who may be active in martial arts, football and more, have the proper protection.
A mouth guard isn’t just about protecting teeth, either-it can prevent the jaw and upper skull from damage or stop a concussion from occurring by absorbing the force of an impact.
What to Expect
A single appointment is required to fit you for a mouth guard. You will come in to have impressions taken, which are then sent to our laboratory. It takes a few days before it’s sent back to our practice when you’ll be able to pick it up and start using it.
