Our Kelowna dental team provides custom sports and night mouth guards to help protect your teeth and jaw from damage, and potentially prevent any future dental issues.
What is a Mouth Guard?
A mouth guard is a custom-made tray that fits over your teeth. It can be worn during sports activities to help protect your teeth from trauma, or during sleep to assist in protecting them from the effects of grinding (bruxism) and jaw disorder (TMJ) symptoms.
We offer custom sports mouth guards and night mouth guards.
Sports Mouth Guards
Our dentists recommend sports mouth guards for any sport where your face may come into contact with another person or piece of equipment, like hockey, football, soccer and gymnastics.
If you get hit in the mouth, a mouth guard help absorb the impact more evenly, providing a barrier between your teeth and the soft tissue in and around your mouth.
Your dentist can create a custom sports mouth guard to protect your teeth and help to prevent injuries like broken teeth and cut gums.
Night Mouth Guards
Our dentists recommend night mouth guards for patients who grind their teeth or clench their jaws during sleep.
If you grind your teeth, a mouth guard can act as a barrier between your top and bottom teeth to help protect them from damage. If you clench your jaw, a mouth guard may help to prevent you from clenching and give you some pain relief.
Your dentists can create a custom night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep.
