What Are Mouthguards?
Mouthguards are protective devices worn over the teeth to prevent injury to your teeth, gums, and jaw. They act as a cushion, absorbing impact during sports, physical activities, or other situations where dental trauma might occur.
Custom mouthguards, made by a dentist, are tailored to fit your teeth perfectly. They help reduce the risk of chipped or broken teeth, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage while allowing you to speak and breathe comfortably.
Types of Mouthguards
Selecting the right mouthguard is essential for keeping your teeth and jaw safe. Here’s a guide to the different types of mouthguards, helping you choose the best option for your needs.
Custom Mouthguards
Professionally made by a dentist to fit the exact shape of your teeth. They offer the highest level of protection, comfort, and durability, making them ideal for athletes or anyone needing reliable dental protection.
Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards
Available at most sporting goods stores, these are softened in hot water and then shaped around your teeth by biting down. They offer moderate protection but may not fit as precisely as custom options.
Stock Mouthguards
Pre-formed and ready to wear, these are the least expensive option. They provide basic protection but are often bulky, less comfortable, and may not fit well, which can make breathing or speaking more difficult.
Custom Mouthguards for Active Lifestyles
At Springfield Dental, we offer high-quality custom mouthguards that provide superior protection while ensuring a comfortable fit, so you can participate in sports and other activities with confidence.
Our skilled team takes precise measurements to craft durable, long-lasting mouthguards tailored specifically to your teeth and needs.

How to Choose the Right Mouthguard
Choosing the right mouthguard is essential to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw during sports or other activities. Consider the following factors:
Level of Protection Needed
High-contact sports like football, hockey, or boxing require the strongest protection. For lower-contact activities, a simpler mouthguard may suffice.
Fit and Comfort
A well-fitting mouthguard stays securely in place and feels comfortable in your mouth, allowing you to breathe and speak easily. Custom mouthguards made by a dentist offer the best fit.
Material Quality
Look for durable, impact-resistant materials that can withstand repeated use and provide reliable protection.
Age and Size
Mouthguards come in sizes for children, teens, and adults. Ensuring the right size helps maximise protection and comfort.
How to Keep Your Custom Mouthguard Clean
Proper care is key to keeping your custom mouthguard effective and hygienic. After every use, rinse it with cool water and gently brush it with a soft toothbrush. Always store your mouthguard in a ventilated case to prevent damage and bacterial growth, and avoid chewing on it, as this can reduce its protective ability. Bring your mouthguard to your regular dental check-ups so your dentist can inspect it for wear and ensure it still fits properly. Over time, even the best mouthguards can wear down, so replace it if you notice cracks, holes, or a loose fit. Following these steps helps keep your mouthguard in top condition, ready to protect your smile during every activity.
