Importance of Mouthguards

Shifting our focus to mouth guards, we understand their vital role in protecting your oral health. These devices cushion a blow that might otherwise cause broken teeth, tooth loss, dental injury, or even jaw pain.

Whether you’re an athlete engaging in contact sports or someone looking for extra protection against nighttime teeth grinding, wearing a dental mouthguard can be a game-changer.

At Juanita Bay Dentist, we emphasize the use of sports mouth guards as they are essential for anyone participating in basketball, football, boxing, hockey, or other high-impact activities.

They’re not just for professionals, kids and recreational players benefit significantly from the preventative measures athletic mouthguards provide. Our goal is to ensure everyone’s healthy teeth stay safe on and off the field.

It adds that your dentist can help you figure out which mouthguard is right for you. This supports the point above about treatment tailored to your needs.

Cost Should Not Keep You From Wearing a Mouthguard

The American Dental Association calls a custom-made mouthguard from your dentist the best option and notes that custom guards cost more because each one is individually created for fit and comfort. It also says that if cost is a barrier, you should still wear a stock or boil-and-bite mouthguard. This supports the point above that flexible payment options help make the right mouthguard more affordable.

It also notes that stock mouthguards are inexpensive but often don’t fit well and can make breathing and talking difficult. This supports the point above about precise measurements and custom fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I clean and store my sports mouthguard?

Always store your mouthguard in a sealed container, out of the reach of children or pets (especially dogs). Clean it after each use with lukewarm water, a soft toothbrush and antibacterial soap. Take care to avoid storing it in hot cars or other places with high temperatures, as it may cause the appliance to warp.

How long do sports mouthguards last?

Most adults and older teens can wear their sports mouthguards for years. Younger children whose mouths are still developing will need to have their appliance updated as their bite continues to grow and mature.

Can I drink with my mouthguard in?

Keep your mouthpiece in for the entire duration of your athletic activity. Hydrating with water is no problem. If you’re drinking something like a sports drink, be sure to thoroughly rinse your mouth out afterward.

Are sports mouthguards covered by insurance?

Not all insurance carriers will cover sports mouthguards. But when you think about it, the minimal investment for a piece of protective equipment can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars in emergency dental care if you choose not to wear one.
