Athletic Mouthguards

Here at Personal Care Dentistry in Roseville, Minnesota, we understand that the path to obtaining a beautiful smile  can be long and tedious. We don’t want you to throw away all of your hard work with simple mistakes. That is why we offer athletic mouthguards. Athletic mouthguards are exactly what they sound like: a mouthguard worn to protect your teeth when participating in physical activities. 

If you do not participate in contact sports, there are still many reasons to wear a mouthguard, including:

  • To prevent grinding your teeth at night
  • To protect fragile dental work following treatment
  • To create a barrier between your lips and dental appliances

We will explain the process of getting a mouthguard and several benefits that come with wearing one to give you complete clarity and confidence in the process. 

What are Athletic Mouthguards?

An athletic mouthguard is a customized piece of dental equipment that serves as a barrier between your teeth and your lips. The mouthguard holds your teeth in place and helps protect them from injury or damaging any fragile dental work that has been completed in your mouth. Moutguards are made from a gummy dental plastic that fits the shape of your mouth. 

Getting a Mouthguard

The process for getting a mouthguard is quick and simple. The dentist will take impressions of your teeth that will be used to create a custom mouthguard that fits you perfectly. You will be able to pick up your mouthguard at a later date and make sure that it fits you properly. The procedure is completely painless. While it may feel uncomfortable at first, you will get used to it over time. 

Mouthguards can last for a long time if taken care of properly. Mouthguards need to be cleaned after each use to help avoid bacterial infection. The more you wear it and bite down on it, the more the plastic will break down and the looser it will feel in your mouth. Once you notice the mouthguard is sliding around and no longer sit securely in your mouth, you’ll know it is time for you to replace it.
