Keep your smile safe with a properly fitting mouthguard
If you grind your teeth or are involved in activities where a blow to the mouth could occur, such as sports, a well-fitting mouthguard is an essential tool to protect your smile. Mouthguards can also serve as an effective solution for reducing snoring. Our experts at Milani Family Dental are here to assist you in finding the perfect mouthguard tailored to your needs.
Types of mouthguards:
Sports mouthguards
It should be considered an essential part of your uniform. Most people think of mouthguards for sports such as football and hockey, but even if you don’t play a contact sport, mouthguards should be worn if a blow to the mouth could occur. This includes sports such as baseball, basketball, skateboarding, and more. A properly fitting mouthguard will protect your teeth should an injury to the mouth occur, and can prevent your teeth from breaking or getting knocked out.
Nightguards
These are worn while sleeping to prevent the side effects that accompany bruxism, or tooth grinding. Bruxism can cause damage, such as wearing down of enamel, chipping, and breaking of the teeth. A properly fitted night guard can prevent this damage and help you get a safe night’s sleep.
Snore guards
are designed to reduce snoring by ensuring the tongue is in proper placement and can’t block the airway, leading to snoring. If you or a loved one suffer from excessive snoring, be sure to speak with a dental or another health professional as this could also be a sign of sleep apnea.
