Sports Mouth Guards

Athletes of all ages face a risk of dental injuries during sports and physical activities. A direct impact to the face or jaw can result in chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth, as well as injuries to the lips, tongue, and jaw. At Sunrise Dental Studio in Pasadena, Maryland, Dr. Afshin Nateghi provides custom sports mouth guards to help protect your teeth and soft tissues during athletic activities.

A custom sports mouth guard is made from impressions of your teeth, allowing it to fit your mouth precisely. This personalized fit helps the guard stay securely in place during activity, making it easier to breathe and communicate compared to generic store-bought options. Custom mouth guards are crafted from durable materials that provide a layer of cushioning between the upper and lower teeth, helping to absorb and distribute the force of an impact.

Sports mouth guards are recommended for a wide range of activities, including football, basketball, soccer, hockey, martial arts, gymnastics, and skateboarding. Both children and adults who participate in contact or collision sports can benefit from wearing a properly fitted mouth guard. If a dental injury does occur during sports, prompt evaluation is important — our team can also assist with emergency dental needs and restorative care.

To keep your mouth guard in good condition, rinse it with cool water after each use and clean it periodically with a soft brush. Store it in a ventilated case and bring it to your dental appointments so Dr. Nateghi can check the fit, especially for younger patients whose mouths are still growing.
