The American Dental Association and the Academy for Sports Dentistry recommend a professionally made, properly fitted custom mouthguard for all contact and collision sports.

When it comes to protecting your mouth, a mouthguard is an essential piece of athletic gear that should be part of your standard equipment starting at an early age. While collision and contact sports such as football, martial arts, baseball, and soccer are higher risk sports for the mouth, anyone may experience a dental injury in non-contact activities such as gymnastics and skateboarding. Mouthguards help cushion a blow to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to your lips, tongue, face, and jaw. Mouthguards typically cover the upper teeth and are a great way to protect the soft tissues of the mouth. 

The best mouthguard is one that is custom made for your mouth by your dentist, as this will ensure a proper fit. Custom mouth guards can be made quickly in the dental office with only two short appointments.
