Mouth Guards and Injuries
Our Lynnwood Dentistry may recommend that people who participate in contact sports, and even certain non-contact sports, wear mouth guards. A proper guard offers important protection against crippling dental injuries. Mouth guards are also used while sleeping, commonly known as nightguards.
Even children at a “pee wee” level, where injuries may be less likely, should get started on mouth guards if only to become accustomed to them. They can take some getting used to, but if an athlete starts wearing them at a young age, they will quickly start feeling as natural as any other piece of equipment.
Mouth Guards & Nightguards
Whether if it’s used for sports or while sleeping, there are several options available when it comes to mouth guards. Remember that the quality of protection that you get is going to match the quality of the product you are putting into your mouth. The cheapest mouth guards are not made to fit the unique shape of your teeth and are therefore less comfortable and less protective.

“Boil and bite” nightguards are an inexpensive way to custom-fit a guard to your teeth, but these can be unreliable and difficult to use. The best way to assure that you’re getting the most beneficial mouth guard is through a dentist. The custom mouth guards we offer are safe, thin, and comfortable. Please contact our dentist in Lynnwood for more information.
