Frequently Asked Questions

How do mouthguards protect teeth?

Mouthguards are protective devices designed to cover and cushion the teeth, gums, and jaws from impact during contact sports or other physical activities. They can help prevent injuries to the teeth, lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw, and also reduce the risk of concussion.

When a person wears a mouthguard, it creates a cushion between the upper and lower teeth, which helps to absorb and distribute the force of an impact. This can help prevent the teeth from cracking, chipping, or being knocked out. Additionally, the mouthguard can help prevent injuries to the soft tissues in the mouth by providing a barrier between the teeth and the lips, cheeks, and tongue.

There are several types of mouthguards available, including stock mouthguards, boil-and-bite mouthguards, and custom-made mouthguards. Custom-made mouthguards, which are made by a dentist based on an impression of the wearer's teeth, offer the best protection and comfort, as they are designed to fit the wearer's mouth precisely. It is important to choose a mouthguard that fits properly and is comfortable to wear, as a poorly fitting mouthguard can increase the risk of injury.

What distinguishes a store-bought mouthguard from one from the dentist?

Custom-made mouthguards from a dentist offer a better fit, are made of higher-quality materials, and can be tailored to the specific needs of the wearer, while store-bought mouthguards are typically a one-size-fits-all solution with lower-quality materials.

What are the benefits of a mouthguard?

The benefits of wearing a mouthguard include:

1. Protecting teeth: Mouthguards create a cushion between the upper and lower teeth, which can help prevent teeth from cracking, chipping, or being knocked out during contact sports or physical activities.

2. Preventing injuries: Mouthguards can also help prevent injuries to the lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw by providing a barrier between the teeth and the soft tissues of the mouth.

3. Reducing the risk of concussion: Mouthguards can help absorb and distribute the force of an impact, which may reduce the risk of concussion or other head injuries.

4. Improving breathing and oxygen flow: Some types of mouthguards are designed to improve breathing and oxygen flow, which can be particularly beneficial for athletes who need to perform at their best.

5. Reducing teeth grinding: Mouthguards can also be used to treat teeth grinding and clenching, which can cause damage to teeth and lead to jaw pain or headaches.

Overall, wearing a mouthguard can help protect your teeth, mouth, and jaw from injury and promote optimal oral health and overall well-being.
