Mouth Guards

Healthy teeth are attractive and can make your smile beautiful. Every year, people spend thousands of dollars to keep their teeth clean, get cosmetic surgery and have other dental procedures performed to maintain a dazzling set of teeth. Now imagine losing your teeth in an instant for not wearing protective gear while playing sports.

Many children and adults lose their teeth because of their lack of awareness about protective mouth guards. This piece of equipment protects the gums and teeth from injuries that may occur while playing sports like hockey, baseball, boxing, football, rugby, karate, and any other contact sports.

Protective Mouth guards are also used to protect your teeth from a condition called ‘bruxism’. Bruxism happens when people grind their teeth while sleeping or due to excessive stress and anxiety. At Dentistry on Ellesmere, we offer a variety of protective mouth guards tailored for your needs.

Different Types of Protective Mouth Guards

It’s always advisable to wear mouth gear when playing sports – contact or non-contact. Here are a few different types of mouth guards available.
