A mouthguard adds an important layer of protection when sports put your teeth at risk of contact or falls. Forest Hills Dental Centre offers sports mouthguards in Langley for children, teens, and adults who want protection designed around their own teeth.

What Is a Sports Mouthguard?

A sports mouthguard is a protective appliance worn over the teeth during athletic activity. Its purpose is to help cushion impact and protect the teeth and surrounding oral tissues when contact occurs.

Mouthguards are relevant to more than traditional contact sports. Any activity where a collision, ball, stick, elbow, or fall could affect the mouth may create a reason to consider protection.

Why Does Fit Matter?

A mouthguard only helps when it is actually worn. A secure, comfortable fit can make it easier to keep the appliance in place during activity without constantly adjusting it.

A Sports Mouthguard Can Help:

  • Help protect teeth during contact or falls
  • Fit around your individual teeth
  • Stay more secure during activity
  • Support comfortable, consistent wear
  • Protect growing smiles during sports
  • Provide an option for children, teens, and adults

Fit is an important consideration when choosing a sports mouthguard. A mouthguard that fits securely and comfortably is more likely to stay in place and be worn consistently during activity.

Who Should Consider a Sports Mouthguard?

Children, teens, and adults who participate in sports or activities with a risk of facial contact may benefit from a mouthguard. The appropriate protection depends on the activity, your teeth, and any existing dental work.

Sports Mouthguards for Children and Teens

Growing athletes have an additional consideration: their mouths change. New teeth erupt, orthodontic treatment may begin, and an older mouthguard may stop fitting properly.

Forest Hills Dental Centre provides children’s and family dentistry, so we can check mouthguard fit as part of ongoing dental care and let you know when replacement should be considered.

Sports Mouthguards vs. Nightguards

Sports mouthguards and nightguards are designed for different purposes. A sports mouthguard is intended to protect the mouth during athletic activity, while a nightguard or oral appliance may be used for patients who grind or clench their teeth during sleep.

Forest Hills Dental Centre offers both sports mouthguards and custom nightguards.

How to Care for a Sports Mouthguard

Keep your mouthguard clean and allow it to dry between uses. Store it safely when it is not being worn, and inspect it for changes in fit, damage, or significant wear.
