Top Benefits of Wearing a Sports Mouthguard

If you love sports, chances are you play every chance you get! The more you play, however, the greater your risk of injury. Sports mouthguards can’t stop sports accidents from occurring, but they can protect your teeth, mouth, and jaw from serious damage in the event of an accident. At the office of Robert L. Holloway, DDS, Noblesville, Indiana, we encourage anyone who plays sports to have a mouthguard customized for their personal use. 

About Mouthguards

Mouthguards are dental devices you can wear over your teeth to protect them from damage on the sports field. Dr. Robert Holloway can fit you for a football mouthguard, boxing mouthguard, basketball mouthguard, a mouthguard to fit over braces, or for any contact sports you or your children play. If you get hit in the mouth by another player or a flying object on the sports field, your mouthguard will absorb the impact to protect your teeth, lips, cheeks, and jaw. 

Getting a customized sports mouthguard made is relatively simple. Dr. Holloway will make impressions of your teeth to fabricate a mouthguard that fits snugly and comfortably over your teeth. A well-fitting mouthguard will give you optimal protection without interfering with your game. 

Top Benefits of Mouthguards

A custom-fitted sports mouthguard provides the greatest protection against:

• Chipped, fractured, or broken teeth
• Knocked out teeth
• Broken restorations like braces, dental crowns, or veneers
• Damage to your lips, tongue, gums, and cheeks
• Fractured jaw

By protecting your teeth, mouth, and jaw, you can avoid the cost of paying for expensive treatments to repair the damage caused by dental trauma on the sports field. Whether you play sports occasionally or are on a sports team, you can’t go wrong by investing in a sports mouthguard to protect your teeth.

Make playing sports as safe and rewarding as possible by wearing a sports mouthguard on the sports field.
