Why are mouthguards used in Norwich?

Protection for sport, grinding and jaw support

It is very important that you use a mouthguard when participating in any sport or other activity that could result in an impact on the mouth or jaw e.g. rugby, hockey, boxing etc. A dentist fitted mouthguard can help prevent broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face or jaw. It will remain in position whilst you are wearing it, making it easy for you to talk and breathe.

Mouthguards are not only used for sport. They can also be provided as night guards to help protect teeth from grinding and clenching, which can cause tooth wear, jaw discomfort and headaches. In some cases, they may also be recommended to support patients experiencing jaw joint strain.

Essential protection for adults and children

Custom mouthguards are recommended for anyone in Norwich, Thorpe St Andrew, Old Catton and Sprowston who takes part in contact or high-impact sports. They are especially important for children and teenagers whose teeth and jaws are still developing.

They are also suitable for adults who grind or clench their teeth at night and want to prevent long-term tooth damage and jaw strain.

I am very satisfied with my doctor. Although I usually find it difficult to feel comfortable with doctors I don’t know, he managed the situation very well — professional, polite, and with a good sense of humor. The whole team is polite and welcoming. However, I would suggest reviewing the current policy regarding appointment cancellations or rescheduling, as unexpected situations can happen to anyone.

Mouthguards for braces and night protection in Norwich

Extra protection for orthodontic treatment

A properly fitted mouthguard is particularly important for people who wear braces because an impact on the face could result in damage to the brackets or other fixed orthodontic appliances. A mouthguard also puts a soft barrier between the braces and your cheek or lips, limiting the risk of soft tissue injuries.

If you have a retainer or other removable appliance, please ensure you don’t wear it during any contact sports.
