Choosing a suitable mouthguard
Custom mouthguards are designed around your teeth and may provide a more secure fit than generic options. Your dentist can advise according to the sport and your dental work.
Looking after it
Clean your mouthguard after use, keep it in a ventilated case and bring it to appointments if its fit changes. Children may need replacement as their teeth develop.
Practical steps to remember
- Wear your mouthguard consistently
- Replace it if fit changes or damage occurs
- Ask about protection around braces or implants
