A sports mouthguard protects the
teeth, gums, and jaw during athletic
activities by cushioning impacts and
reducing injury risk. It also forms a
barrier to prevent cuts to oral tissues
and stabilizes the jaw when properly
fitted. are especially useful for athletes with dental work or previous
injuries, offering support for loose teeth and minimizing pain or
complications.
How a mouthguard protects your teeth
Protection of the soft tissue:
Sport mouthguards shield the soft tissues in your mouth, your gums
and cheek, from getting a cut while you are playing a sport.
Cushioning impact:
Cushioning impact with a sports mouthguard is important if you’re
playing contact sports. Basically, mouthguards soak up and spread
out any hits, so you’re not putting all that force on one tooth. They
help keep your gums and lips from getting cut, too. Plus, they hold
your jaw steady and stop it from getting too much stress, which can
mess
things up long term. If your mouthguard fits right, you’re way less
likely to end up with busted teeth or even a concussion.
