If you or your children play contact sports we strongly advise you to wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth from impact.

All too often we have dealt with the aftermath of a blow to the teeth from a hockey stick or rugby tackle. Damage to teeth from sports injuries is often severe and can require complex and costly treatment to put right.

A custom made professional mouthguard is recommended for the best protection. We do not recommend 'off the shelf' mouthguards as they will not fit accurately and they can be uncomfortable to wear.

To make a mouthguard all we need is an impression of your teeth. This quick and easy procedure requires only a short appointment. The impression is then sent to a dental technician who will make a comfortable shield which exactly fits your teeth. Mouthguards are available in many diffrent colours and thicknessess.

If you require a mouthguard please ask us and we will be happy to arrange it for you. Remember, a small investment in the right protection for your teeth can save a lot of tears!
