Mouthguards in Craigieburn

Mouthguards are oral devices that slip over your upper and lower teeth. They form a protective barrier to prevent you from grinding your teeth at night.

It is normal to experience some mild discomfort in the beginning. Professional mouthguards may feel snug initially, but you eventually get used to them. Many patients even report great satisfaction when they initially dawn their guard.

Working with experienced dentists is key to ensuring you get a good fit. At Royal Dental Spa, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you leave our clinic happy with how your mouthguard feels.

• When playing contact sports.
  Wearing a mouthguard while playing contact sports is an important step to protect your teeth and gums from injury. Not only do they protect against broken or chipped teeth, but they also reduce the severity of concussions caused by blows to the jaw.
  
  
• At bedtime, to prevent teeth grinding.
  Wearing a mouthguard at night is highly recommended if you’re prone to teeth grinding. A visit to Royal Dental Spa can provide you with a custom-fitted teeth guard in Craigieburn that will help protect your teeth from the pressure caused by nighttime grinding.
  
  
• As prescribed by your dentist.
  You may suffer from other oral health problems that require a mouth guard. Your dentist may prescribe a mouthguard for issues such as TMJ, soft tissue injuries, and misaligned jaws.

• Wash your mouthguard before and after each use.
  Rinse it thoroughly and then air dry it on a clean surface like a paper towel. Avoid using hot water or harsh disinfectants, as these could damage the mouthguard.
  
  
• Check your mouthguard for wear and tear after each use.
  Looking for holes, tears or other signs of deterioration could render it ineffective. Replace the mouthguard according to the manufacturer’s instructions or when instructed by your dentist if you notice any damage.
  
  
• Don’t expose the mouthguard to heat sources.
  Such as boiling water or a dishwasher, as this will damage the plastic material of the guard and make it less effective at protecting your teeth from injury or trauma.
  
  
• Store the mouthguard in a protective case between uses.
  To keep it safe from dirt and debris that may cause it to deteriorate faster when exposed to moisture during wear time. Keep cases for children away from pets who may chew on them!
  
  
• Have your dentist check the fit of your mouthguard every 6–12 months.
  This ensures it still provides sufficient protection while allowing you enough room to breathe comfortably while wearing it.

Replacing your teeth guard in Craigieburn isn’t something you should wait to do until extensive wear and tear. Regular use means your night guard needs to be replaced once a year. It’s the ideal way to ensure dental protection while participating in sports or high-contact activities.
