Prevent Dental Damage

If you play a high-impact sport – such as AFL, rugby, hocky, netball, etc. – it’s important to keep your teeth well protected on the pitch. At Nelson Bay Dental, we provide mouth guards that are perfectly customised for your teeth. In addition to being tough and durable, our mouthguards are designed for comfort. We can even apply your team’s colours to your mouthguard, as well as print custom images and symbols on it.

Unlike over-the-counter ‘boil and bite’ mouthguards, our custom solutions aren’t bulky and won’t lose their shape in excessive heat conditions. Our friendly dental team will take an impression of your teeth and use it to rapidly formulate your new mouthguard. What’s more, we can produce custom mouthguards for customers of all ages. 

If you’d like to discover how we can tailor the perfect mouthguard for your mouth type, visit us or call (02) 4981 1576. We also provide dental implants, orthodontics, dentures and much more. 

Benefits of Custom Mouthguards

Opting for a customised sports mouthguard affords a wide variety of benefits. Here are just a few examples:

• They can better safeguard against fractures & impacts that can misalign your teeth – which may require more costly procedures to fix
• They offer great protection against cuts & bruising
• They can afford greater protection against neck injuries
• They can reduce the likelihood of concussion on the sportsground – as the mouthguard will better cushion jaws and prevent violent clashing
• They can be aesthetically tailored – showing your preferred images, team colours, etc.
• They afford a high degree of comfort – as they are tailored for your unique mouth type
• They won’t warp in excessively hot conditions like stock-standard mouthguards will

Caring for Your Mouthguard

There are certain things you can do to extend the life of your mouthguard and ensure it retains its protective qualities. These include:

• Washing it regularly with cold water
• Keeping it out of the sun
• Disinfect it using mouthwash on a regular basis
• Keep it in a well-ventilated plastic storage box
• Do not keep it in your car’s glovebox for extended periods of time
• Inform your dentist if you feel that the mouthguard is no longer fitting the way it used to
