Mouthguards
If you or your children are involved in contact sports, a custom-made mouthguard is essential for shielding your teeth and gums from injury. Unlike store-bought versions, which can be bulky and uncomfortable, a professionally fitted mouthguard offers superior comfort, durability, and protection. Dental Health Plus recommends custom mouthguards for both kids and adults to ensure the best fit and safety.
Why Choose a Custom-Made Mouthguard?
Custom mouthguards are specifically designed to fit your teeth, offering a much more secure fit compared to over-the-counter options. A properly fitted mouthguard will not only protect your teeth but also reduce the risk of concussions, jaw injuries, and other serious dental damage. Our in-house lab allows us to create these mouthguards quickly and efficiently, often providing same-day service.
The Different Types Available
Sports Mouthguards: These are designed to protect teeth, gums, and jaws from impact during contact sports like football, basketball, or boxing. They help reduce the risk of fractures, concussions, and other injuries.
Night Guards: These are used to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) while sleeping. They can help reduce wear on teeth, alleviate jaw pain, and minimise headaches.
Dental Appliances: Sometimes used in orthodontics, these can help with certain dental issues, such as shifting teeth or preventing snoring.
When Should Kids Replace Their Sports Mouthguards?
As children’s teeth grow and change, their mouthguards may need adjustments or replacements. We recommend scheduling regular assessments every six months during your routine check-up and cleanings to ensure the mouthguard still fits properly. Our team can quickly remake the mouthguard when needed to keep up with your child’s dental development.

Because your time is valuable, we prioritise your convenience. Whether you’re an adult athlete or a parent protecting your child’s smile, we can create a custom sports mouthguard in-house.
