Athletic Mouth Guards at Thousand Oaks Dental
In our office, we understand the importance of doing everything possible to protect your natural teeth. Although your teeth are strong, there are some problems that can occur that can cause permanent damage. Our family dental practice tailors products and treatments to meet your needs, no matter your age.
One of the most popular products we offer here in our San Antonio, Texas office, is an athletic mouth guard to wear during physical activities.
Athletic Mouth Guards
You may have heard about mouthguards before, but to help you understand how they work and why we recommend them, we encourage you to keep reading for more information.
We usually recommend mouth guards for two main reasons; to help with TMD or temporomandibular joint dysfunction (or grinding your teeth at night,) and to protect your teeth during physical sports. Each type of mouth guard has a unique design but effectively protects the teeth.
Thick dental plastic is custom-crafted into athletic mouthguards that fit your teeth securely. Customizing them to your teeth will assist you in having a resting bite while performing your sports. These mouthguards protect your teeth from impact and prevent you from biting your tongue.
