Get Fitted for a Sports Mouthguard in Goonellabah

Protection For Peace Of Mind

Sports mouthguards are designed to protect the teeth, gums, lips, tongue and jaw during sports activities. They are typically made of durable, flexible materials such as thermoplastic, which can absorb and dissipate the force of impact, reducing the risk of dental injuries.

These mouthguards are commonly used in contact sports like football, hockey, rugby and boxing, where collisions and impacts are frequent. However, they are also recommended for non-contact sports, such as basketball, soccer, gymnastics and skateboarding, as accidental falls or collisions can still result in dental trauma.

Wearing a properly fitted mouthguard can help cushion blows to the face and mouth, preventing injuries, such as broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, fractured jaws and soft tissue lacerations. Additionally, mouthguards may reduce the severity of concussions by providing a layer of protection between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing some of the impact forces that would otherwise be transmitted to the skull.

Custom-fitted mouthguards, created by dentists using impressions of the individual's teeth, usually offer the best fit and protection.
