Protection For Peace Of Mind

Sports mouthguards are designed to protect the teeth, gums, lips, tongue and jaw during sports activities. They are typically made of durable, flexible materials such as thermoplastic, which can absorb and dissipate the force of impact, reducing the risk of dental injuries.

These mouthguards are commonly used in contact sports like football, hockey, rugby and boxing, where collisions and impacts are frequent. However, they are also recommended for non-contact sports, such as basketball, soccer, gymnastics and skateboarding, as accidental falls or collisions can still result in dental trauma.

Wearing a properly fitted mouthguard can help cushion blows to the face and mouth, preventing injuries, such as broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, fractured jaws and soft tissue lacerations. Additionally, mouthguards may reduce the severity of concussions by providing a layer of protection between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing some of the impact forces that would otherwise be transmitted to the skull.

Custom-fitted mouthguards, created by dentists using impressions of the individual's teeth, usually offer the best fit and protection. At Goonellabah Denture Clinic, we're passionate about helping you safeguard your oral health with a mouthguard that's tailored to your needs. We also offer a full range of denture solutions, including denture repairs, implants and relines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do sports mouthguards protect teeth during physical activity?

Sports mouthguards act as a cushioning barrier between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing and dispersing the impact forces that can result from collisions, falls or blows to the face during sports activities. By reducing the transmission of force to the teeth and surrounding structures, mouthguards can help prevent dental injuries, such as fractures, dislocations and tooth loss.
Can any type of mouthguard be used for sports?

While any mouthguard provides some level of protection, specialised sports mouthguards may offer superior performance and comfort during athletic activities. These mouthguards are designed to withstand the rigours of sports, with durable materials and custom or boil-and-bite designs that provide a secure and comfortable fit. Off-the-shelf mouthguards, such as those used for teeth grinding (bruxism), may not offer sufficient protection or may impede breathing and communication during sports.
How should I clean and care for my sports mouthguard?

Proper maintenance can ensure the effectiveness and longevity of sports mouthguards. For care instructions related to your specific mouthguard, speak to your dentist. It's also recommended to regularly inspect the mouthguard for signs of wear or damage, and replace it if it becomes worn, torn or distorted. Additionally, avoid exposing the mouthguard to high temperatures or direct sunlight, as this can cause warping or degradation of the material.
