When should I wear a Mouthguard?

A mouthguard is a great tool to protect your teeth. At Smile 24 Dentistry in Phoenix, AZ, we offer personalized mouthguards that are fitted to your teeth making them more effective and comfortable.

A mouthguard is used to protect your teeth, tongue, gums and cheeks from trauma caused by teeth grinding or sports injuries.

You might need a mouth guard if you:

• Play contact sports that increase the risk of a hit to the face like football, lacrosse, hockey, basketball, baseball or soccer.

• Play noncontact sports such as skating, biking, mountain biking or gymnastics that have a high risk of falling.

Replace your mouthguard if it looks worn or has tears, no longer fits or it has lost its shape. For the mouthguard to effectively protect your smile, it needs to fit well.

If you grind your teeth at night or wake up with a sore jaw, you might consider getting a night guard.
