Mouth Guards

A mouthguard should be worn for any contact sports such as football, hockey, soccer etc. A mouthguard bought from a shop will fit incorrectly and will not offer the same protection. The Australian Dental Association strongly recommends a custom-made mouthguard from your dentist so this will cover the teeth and gums securely and helps to minimize the risk of injury to the teeth. Have a new mouthguard made every year for children as they are still growing, and the shape of the mouth and jaw are constantly changing.
