FAQ

FAQs About Mouthguards

Is a custom mouthguard better than a store-bought one?

Yes. A custom mouthguard made by your dentist is designed specifically for your teeth, so it fits securely and stays in place during sports or grinding. Store-bought guards are made to fit many different mouths, which often means they fit poorly. They can feel bulky, shift during use, and make breathing or speaking uncomfortable.

How long does a custom mouthguard last?

With proper care, a custom mouthguard for sport typically lasts one to two seasons, depending on how often you use it and how hard the impacts are. Kids may need replacements more frequently as their teeth grow and change. Bring your mouth guard to your regular dental checkups so we can inspect it for wear and let you know when it's time for a replacement.

Can kids get a mouthguard for sports?

Yes, and it is strongly recommended. Children who play contact sports such as football, hockey, or basketball have a higher risk of dental injuries.
A custom sports mouthguard helps protect their teeth from being chipped, broken, or knocked out during impact. Because children’s teeth and jaws are still developing, they may need a new mouthguard more frequently to maintain a proper fit.
