Preventive Dentistry

Playing active sports has the potential to cause trauma and injury. A mouthguard is a removable rubber or polyvinyl shield worn over the upper teeth to protect the teeth and jaws from traumatic injury during these sporting activities. A customised well-fitting mouthguard is the only way to adequately protect yourself.

Nightsplints are worn to protect the teeth from bruxing habits and can sometimes alleviate muscular pain and migraines associated with such habits. Speak to us about nightguards if you suspect you may be grinding or clenching.
