Mouthguards.

Sporting accidents are one of the most common causes of dental injury. Dental injuries can result in time off school or work, can be painful and disfiguring, and may involve lengthy and complex dental treatment.

Every year thousands of people, including children, are treated for sporting-resulted dental injuries that could have been avoided or minimised by wearing a protective, custom-fitted mouthguard. Wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard helps to absorb and spread the impact of a blow to your face, which might otherwise result in an injury to your mouth, your jaw, or your head. Dental Today are experts in fitting custom made dental mouthguards in Auckland, and will help you keep the cost to a minimum.

The cost of an injury to your teeth or jaw far exceeds the cost of a custom-fitted sports mouthguard.

Custom-fitted mouthguards should be worn whilst playing and training for any sport where there is a possibility of contact to the face. These sports can include rugby, netball, soccer, cricket, basketball, hockey, and even skateboarding and skiing. A custom-fitted mouthguard is just as important as any other sporting equipment.

Aside from sporting accidents, mouth guards can also protect against dental injuries caused by teeth grinding.
