What are mouthguards?
Mouthguards are devices that are worn over teeth to protect from injury or damage from physical collisions. They cushion the impact of collisions and protect your teeth from damage such as fractures or chipping and more serious assaults that could incur costly repair and even surgery if sustained, and like other protective sporting equipment, mouthguards are designed with the safety and wellbeing of the athlete in mind and should be worn for all contact sports where there is a risk of sports injuries and trauma to your teeth.
At Maudsland Dental Care, we offer custom fitted mouthguards by taking a digital scan of your mouth and preparing your personal mouthguard from that scan. We also offer custom mouth guards for patients in non-sporting settings to offer protection for your teeth in situations where teeth grinding may occur during sleep and result in unnecessary wear and tear.
Benefits of mouthguards
In addition to sports, custom mouthguards are ideal for preventing teeth grinding at night, protecting your teeth from unnecessary wear and tear.
Versatility
A custom fit ensures that the mouthguard is comfortable to wear and does not interfere with your performance in sports or daily activities.
Better comfort
Custom-fitted mouthguards offer better protection than over-the-counter options by fitting perfectly to your teeth and thus reducing the risk of injury.
Superior protection

How do I care for my mouthguard?
You can easily take care of your mouthguard by cleaning it with a toothbrush and mild soap after each use, storing it in a ventilated case to keep it dry and protect it from damage, and avoiding exposing it to extreme temperatures.
How long do mouthguards last?
With proper care, custom mouthguards can last several years. Regular check-ups with your dentist can help ensure they remain in good condition.
Can mouthguards be used to stop teeth grinding?
Yes, custom mouthguards can be designed to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) during sleep, protecting your teeth from excessive wear and damage.
Why should I choose a custom mouthguard over a store-bought one?
They are specifically designed to match the contours of your teeth, providing better coverage, reducing the risk of injury, and offering a superior fit, comfort, and protection compared to store-bought options.
