Mouth guards are a must have product for every athlete. If you ever played sports during your school time, then you probably have some experience with them.

 

Unfortunately,  most of the kids and adults don’t know why they have to use them or these people try to avoid wearing them since they are not always comfortable.

 

AT The Townsville Dental Centre, we will help you choose the right sports mouth guard for you and your child.

Our custom made mouth guards are known as a comprehensive oral protection for the adults and children. These guards are used are used by many schools and sports associations throughout the Australia. Plus, many professional sports professionals also love to use our products.

 

Why Do Athletes Need Sports Mouth Guards?

If you or your child generally participates in any kind of physical activity/sport, there is a high risk of dental damage. Our mouth guards in Townsville can work as a helmet on your teeth by providing them with the utmost protection. Many contact sports like Hockey, Martial Arts, Boxing, Rugby and Lacrosse demand for these safety products.

If as an athlete you don’t use them while playing, then you might have to experience a force that is created by your opponent. It can destroy all your teeth while creating more space between the parts of the upper and lower jaw. Remember the fact is that when these parts of the jaw come in contact at high force concussion, there is a possibility of suffering from the cerebral hemorrhage or even death.

At The Townsville Dental Centre, our custom made mouthguards to be of an exact fit from moulds taken by our dentist. They are available in a huge range of designs and colours for you to choose.

 

Resistance to Sports Mouth Guard Usage

Most of the athletes resist wearing a mouth guard. It is common to receive the complaints of uncomfortable bulky appliances. Sports persons with braces may complain that their mouth guards cause damage to their orthodontic work. As a result, if peers are not using mouth guards, athletes may not want to wear them either.

 

Caring for Mouth Guards Is Must

Our Sports Mouth Guards should be replaced as your child grows and their teeth change. While, adults should replace their guard every two years. Our sports mouth guard in Townsville need to be cleaned after use in order to avoid bacterial build up. You can clean them with hand soap after use and allow the guard to air dry.
