Why are mouthguards used in sports?
A mouthguard is designed to protect the teeth and facial structures from injury. When worn during sports, it is referred to as an athletic mouthguard. These mouthguards provide protection for the teeth and gums, reducing the risk of injuries. While athletic mouthguards are commonly associated with sports such as football, it is important to remember that injuries can occur in sports where mouthguards are not typically worn, such as basketball and softball. Therefore, wearing a mouthguard during any sport that poses a risk of facial injury is essential to safeguard your teeth and smile.
Is it necessary for me to get a personalized athletic mouthguard?
Research has proven that wearing an athletic mouthguard greatly decreases the chances of mouth and teeth injuries. A boil-and-bite mouthguard is usually sufficient, but there are also options available for those with braces. For a more customized fit, consider getting a pediatric mouthguard made by your pediatric dentist. Contact Pinnacle Peak Dentistry today to get your custom athletic mouthguard!
