Protecting Your Oral Health During Sleep & Sports
We must do more than brush and floss to protect and maintain good oral health. If you participate in sports or clench or grind your teeth, a custom-fitted mouth guard can help preserve and protect your oral structures and help you maintain good oral health.
The benefits of these protective dental appliances go beyond just protecting teeth from impact. They can also support general, whole-body health. When you sleep better, you feel better, which is why night guards can be beneficial to patients who struggle with sleep-related issues. In addition to protecting the teeth, sports guards can help protect the inside of the mouth from the teeth themselves during an impact and can also help protect the jaw from injury.
Your smile is important to us and we want to help you protect it as much as possible. At O'Connor Dental Centre, the mouth guards we offer are designed to fit perfectly over your teeth to help protect your oral cavity.
Sports Guards
Wearing a mouth guard while playing sports can significantly reduce the risk of damaging your teeth or jaw when you experience a blow to the head or face. A mouth guard acts as a barrier between your teeth and the soft tissue of your mouth to protect your smile.
Night Guards
A mouth guard can help protect your teeth from damage if you grind them in your sleep. If you clench your jaw at night, a night guard acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, and may even offer some pain relief.
