What Are Mouthguards?
Dentist Hoover
Mouthguards are essential for protecting your teeth and mouth during sports and other high-risk activities. At Knox Square Dental, we emphasize their importance, especially for athletes involved in contact sports like football or hockey, where the risk of dental injuries is heightened. Mouthguards act as a cushion, absorbing impact and preventing damage to your teeth, gums, and jaw. By wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard, you can reduce the risk of dental trauma and keep your smile intact and healthy.

Benefits of Mouthguards
Prevention of Dental Injuries
Mouthguards absorb and distribute impact forces, significantly reducing the risk of chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth during sports activities.
Protection Against Jaw Injuries
By cushioning the teeth and jaw, mouthguards help prevent or lessen the severity of jaw fractures and other related injuries.
Enhanced Safety in Non-Contact Sports
Recent studies show that mouthguards are also beneficial in sports like basketball, where impacts from the ball or the court can cause injuries. Wearing a mouthguard in these sports offers additional protection for your teeth and mouth.
