A mouthguard is a specially-made, rubber-like protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips and gums.  It is important to wear a professionally made mouthguard whenever you play sport that involves physical contact or moving objects. For example, cricket, hockey, boxing, rugby and football.

Your dentist will be happy to make you a custom-made mouthguard, which will fit your mouth exactly and protect your teeth and gums properly preventing damage to the jaw & protect against chipped or broken teeth, root and bone damage, and tooth loss. Mouth guards also safeguard against serious injuries such as cerebral hemorrhage, concussion and neck injuries by helping to avoid situations where the lower jaw jams into the upper jaw.
