What is a Mouth Guard?
Preserving your oral health is more than that just brushing and flossing.
If you play a sport where it's possible to get hit in the face, you are putting your teeth at risk. Similarly, if you clench or grind your teeth at night, you are also risking your smile.
Our dentists in Fredericton can create custom-fitted mouth guards for you to wear while you sleep or while you're playing sports. These mouth guards are designed to protect your teeth and overall oral cavity from damage, thus supporting whole-body health.
Custom-Fitted Sports Guards
If you are hit in the mouth while playing sports, a custom-fitted mouth guard provides a barrier between your teeth and your mouth's soft tissue to protect your smile.
These dental appliances are made specifically for your mouth using dental impressions and are designed to protect the face, jaw, head and teeth from injury while you focus on the action on the ice, rink or court.
Custom-Fitted Night Guards
If you grind your teeth while you sleep, you can end up with chipped or fractured teeth, tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches and more symptoms due to the stress on your jaw.
A mouth guard can help protect your teeth from damage, and help keep you from clenching and offer some pain relief to help you get a good night's rest.
