Mouthguard: Protection where you need it most
No matter what game or activity, of all the protective sports equipment your child may need, the most essential item in their bag should be a custom-fitted mouthguard. Purchasing a guard from the supermarket or chemist will offer only very limited protection as they are a one size fits all.
Customised mouthguards from Dental Excel are perfectly moulded to the teeth and mouth shape. They will not just protect your child’s teeth, but will also make it easier to breathe and add extra cushioning against an accidental blow to the face. Customised mouthguards do more than just protect your child’s teeth, they can also reduce the possibility or severity of a concussion.
A dentist created mouthguard should be worn not just when playing but also during training. This will ensure they are familiar comfortable wearing it and can breathe normally
To care for your mouthguard, ensure it is kept away from heat and direct sunlight as this can cause it to warp and affect its fit. You should also rinse it after each time you use it and place it in its designated case to dry. This will prevent the growth of bacteria.
