Understanding Mouthguards

Mouthguards are protective devices designed to cover your teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury. They are essential for protecting your smile during physical activity and even while you sleep. Whether you’re playing sports or grinding your teeth at night, a custom-fitted mouthguard can shield your teeth from damage.

4 Reasons for a Mouth Guard

1.

Protection During Contact Sports

Mouth guards shield teeth and jaws from impact injuries, reducing the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth.

2.

Prevent Teeth Grinding

For individuals who grind or clench their teeth during sleep (bruxism), a custom-made mouth guard provides cushioning and protection.

3.

Relief for TMJ Disorder

Customized mouth guards can help alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by stabilizing the jaw joint.

4.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

For individuals with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a mouth guard can help keep the airway open by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue during sleep.

Mouth Guards FAQs

If you have any questions about mouth guards, we’ve got answers.

How often should I replace my mouth guard?

Mouth guards can wear out or get damaged over time. It’s important to replace them every one to two years, or sooner if they show signs of wear or damage.

How to care for mouthguards?

It’s extremely important that mouthguards be stored in a cool, dry case when not in use. A protective case will reduce the likelihood of a small child or pet accidentally damaging the appliance when it’s not being used. Also, avoid hot temperatures (such as a car) while storing your mouthguard, as it could warp or distort the material.

Can children use mouth guards?

Yes, children can use mouth guards for protection during sports activities. We offer customized mouth guards for children that are designed to fit their smaller mouths.

How much do mouthguards cost?

The price of a sports mouthguard or bruxism splint can vary depending on the type of materials used, the mouthguard design, and if you’re using dental insurance. The cost of a mouthguard is only a fraction of what it would be to repair broken teeth from a sports injury, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in emergency dental treatment. By investing in these protective acrylic appliances, you can reduce the amount of time and money you spend in a dentist’s office because of an athletic injury or worn teeth.
During your consultation, our Los Angeles dentist will recommend the best type of mouthguard for your needs. At that time, we can provide you with a price quote for the product and any insurance benefits being applied.
