Do you love sports? Do you wear a mouthguard? Here are some fascinating facts. Approximately 40% of dental injuries are sustained in sports, and failing to wear a mouthguard makes you 60 times susceptible to mouth and face injuries! As we let these statistics sink in, it’s time to consider a mouthguard. While most people in Milton shun mouthguards because they hamper breathing, alter speech, and feel uncomfortable, custom-designed mouthguards are precisely the opposite.

The process of getting a custom-made mouthguard

If you are about to get a mouthguard from Scott and Derry Dental Care, the process begins by taking impressions of your mouth. Impressions ensure that we make perfectly fitting and naturally looking mouthguards.

Next, the impressions are sent to a lab for the fabrication of your mouthguard. The process involves meticulous cooling and curing techniques. And the final results yield a sturdy and comfortable mouthguard that resembles the contours of your gums.

After about two weeks, when your mouthguard is ready, you will return to our practice to pick it. Here, Dr. Jameela Jifri or Dr. Savita Singh will check that the appliance fits comfortably — after which they will give you details of taking care of it.

Why you should consider custom-made mouthguards

While sports come with injuries, this shouldn’t discourage you from taking part in what you love. With custom-made mouthguards, you can shield your smile when participating in contact sports like handball, football, rugby, boxing, and cricket.

Are you still considering why you should invest in a mouthguard? Good question. Here are a couple of benefits of custom-design mouthguards.

• Offer protection: Mouthguards protect your teeth, gums, and other body parts, including the jaw, tongue, lips, and even the brain.
• Comfortable: Custom-designed mouthguards are less bulky, making talking, speaking, and breathing easy.
• Durable: We use high-quality materials to make mouthguards that should last for years with proper care.

Besides, mouthguards come in different colours. This way, you can choose your favourite colour or match the hue of your sports team.
