Schedule an Appointment Participating in sports is a great way to stay active, but it can also put your teeth at risk. A sports mouth guard is a critical piece of equipment designed to protect your smile during athletic activities. Whether you are involved in high-contact sports like football, hockey or wrestling, or enjoy non-contact sports such as gymnastics, mountain biking, cycling or skateboarding, an athletic mouth guard can help prevent injuries like chipped, cracked or knocked-out teeth and soft tissue damage.
Benefits of a Sports Mouth Guard
A properly fitted sports mouth guard provides a layer of protection for your upper teeth while also helping to safeguard your lips, cheeks and tongue. For individuals wearing braces, mouth guards are particularly important to prevent injuries that could lead to additional orthodontic complications. Our experienced dentists and team offer customized sports guards to ensure your appliance fits securely and comfortably, offering maximum protection for your teeth and smile without interfering with your ability to speak or breathe.
When to Replace Your Mouth Guard
Over time, mouth guards can wear down or lose their proper fit. Children and teens, in particular, may need frequent replacements as their jaws and teeth develop. If your current mouth guard feels loose, has visible signs of wear or no longer fits properly, it is time to visit Shoreline Dental Chicago for a new one. While you can find more generic athletic guards at many sporting goods stores, we recommend that you receive a custom guard from our dentists. A custom, properly fitted mouth guard not only provides superior protection for your teeth but also provides greater peace of mind during your favorite activities.
