A mouth guard is an useful item made from soft plastic or laminate, which saves your lip, tongue, teeth, gums and the cheeks from injury.
Mouth guards protect the teeth and the gums from injuries related to trauma and sports. It also prevents damage to your tooth enamel caused by teeth grinding. These are also used to minimise snoring problem as well as to treat sleep apnea. At the Shirley Park Dental Surgery, we provide durable and high-quality mouth guards that are custom-made to fit perfectly into your mouth.
Mouth guards are equally helpful for both children and adults, who partake in any contact sports, like football, hockey, basketball, lacrosse, ice hockey and others. Wearing a mouth guard is a must, even if you take part in any non-contact, recreational activity that has even a small risk of injuring the mouth. It is also prescribed to both children and adults, who grind their teeth at night while asleep. It helps avoiding damage to their teeth.
