Understanding Mouthguards

Mouthguards are protective devices designed to cover your teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury. We offer two primary types of mouthguards:

  • Sports Guards: Used during athletic activities to protect against dental injuries
  • Night Guards: Worn during sleep to prevent teeth grinding and clenching

4 Reasons for a Mouth Guard

1.

Protection During Contact Sports

Mouth guards shield teeth and jaws from impact injuries, reducing the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth.

2.

Prevent Teeth Grinding

For individuals who grind or clench their teeth during sleep (bruxism), a custom-made mouth guard provides cushioning and protection.

3.

Relief for TMJ Disorder

Customized mouth guards can help alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by stabilizing the jaw joint.

4.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

For individuals with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a mouth guard can help keep the airway open by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue during sleep.

Over 200,000 oral injuries are prevented each year in the U.S. by wearing mouthguards.

Mouth Guards FAQs

If you have any questions about mouth guards, we’ve got answers.

Mouth guards can wear out or get damaged over time. It’s important to replace them every one to two years, or sooner if they show signs of wear or damage.

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your mouthguard:

  • Clean it thoroughly after each use with cool water and mild soap
  • Store it in a ventilated container when not in use
  • Avoid exposing it to high temperatures
  • Bring it to your regular dental check-ups for inspection
  • Replace it if it becomes damaged or ill-fitting

ustom mouthguards can benefit many patients, particularly those who:

  • Experience teeth grinding or jaw clenching during sleep
  • Participate in contact sports or high-impact activities
  • Have invested in cosmetic dental work, they want to protect
  • Suffer from TMJ-related pain or headaches

During your consultation at The Smile Spa, your highly trained dentist in Agoura Hills will assess your individual needs and help determine if a custom mouthguard is the best solution for you.

Yes, children can use mouth guards for protection during sports activities. We offer customized mouth guards for children that are designed to fit their smaller mouths.

The price of a sports mouthguard or bruxism splint can vary depending on the type of materials used, the mouthguard design, and if you’re using dental insurance. The cost of a mouthguard is only a fraction of what it would be to repair broken teeth from a sports injury, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in emergency dental treatment. By investing in these protective acrylic appliances, you can reduce the amount of time and money you spend in a dentist’s office because of an athletic injury or worn teeth.

During your consultation, our Agoura Hills dentist will recommend the best type of mouthguard for your needs. At that time, we can provide you with a price quote for the product and any insurance benefits being applied.
