All contact sport players run the risk of injury to the mouth and teeth during warm ups, training and games.
Why Get A Custom Fitted Mouthguard
The Australian Dental Association (ADA) urges both adults and children to wear a custom fitted mouthguard when playing contact sports.
- Only custom fitted mouthguards can provide the necessary protection for your mouth and teeth
- Mouthguards require regular checks to ensure they still fit correctly
- Mouth injuries can occur anytime, so mouthguards should be worn during all training and games
- Custom made mouthguards are moulded to your specific teeth, reducing the chance of oral trauma in a collision
- ADA and Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) encourage all sports clubs and schools to have a ‘No Mouthguard, No Play” policy
- Football, soccer, rugby and hockey are all contact sports whose players have a high risk of obtaining dental injuries
