Mouth Guard
If you’re here, chances are you’re familiar with the concept of a mouth guard. It’s a crucial tool designed to shield your teeth, especially against the impacts of nighttime grinding or clenching, known as bruxism, as well as during sports activities. These guards serve as a barrier, absorbing shocks and hits that may occur from external forces.
Prioritizing the protection of your teeth not only enhances your oral health but also ensures its longevity. Recognizing that each individual’s oral habits and needs vary, opting for a personalized mouthguard is an excellent choice.

FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions
A mouth guard is a protective device worn over your teeth to shield them from injuries during physical activities or to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding during sleep (bruxism).
Wearing a mouth guard is essential for protecting your teeth from impact injuries, preventing chips, fractures, or even tooth loss. It also helps reduce the risk of jaw injuries and can alleviate symptoms associated with bruxism.
The best mouth guard for you depends on your specific needs and preferences. Custom-made mouth guards, which are crafted by dental professionals based on impressions of your teeth, offer the highest level of protection and comfort. However, boil-and-bite mouth guards available at stores can also provide adequate protection and are more affordable.
Proper care is crucial to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your mouth guard. Rinse it with cold water before and after each use, and clean it thoroughly with a toothbrush and toothpaste or mild soap. Store it in a ventilated container to allow it to dry completely and keep it away from heat to prevent warping.
Regularly inspect your mouth guard for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, tears, or distortions. Replace it immediately if you notice any damage or if it no longer fits properly. Typically, mouth guards should be replaced every 6-12 months, or as recommended by your dentist.
