Sugar Family Dental provides mouthguards as part of their dental services. Mouthguards, also known as sports guards or athletic mouthpieces, are protective devices worn over the teeth and gums to prevent injuries during sports and physical activities.

Mouthguards are crucial for athletes of all ages and levels participating in contact sports or activities with a risk of dental trauma. They help cushion blows to the face and mouth, reducing the chances of broken teeth, fractured jaws, and soft tissue injuries such as cuts and bruises.

There are three main types of mouthguards:

1. Stock Mouthguards: These are pre-made, ready-to-wear mouthguards available in standard sizes. While they are affordable and readily available, they often provide a less precise fit and may be less comfortable compared to custom-made mouthguards.
2. Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards: These mouthguards are made from thermoplastic material that softens when heated in boiling water. After heating, the athlete bites into the softened material to create a custom mold of their teeth for a better fit.
3. Custom-Made Mouthguards: Custom mouthguards are fabricated by dental professionals based on impressions of the athlete's teeth. They offer the best fit, comfort, and protection, as they are tailored to the individual's mouth anatomy.

Sugar Family Dental can create custom-made mouthguards for athletes, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit that provides optimal protection during sports and physical activities. Custom mouthguards are durable, easy to clean, and can be customized with team colors or logos.

Wearing a properly fitted mouthguard is essential for protecting the teeth and mouth from injuries, maintaining oral health, and preserving a confident smile while engaging in sports and recreational activities. Sugar Family Dental encourages athletes to prioritize their oral safety by using appropriate mouth protection.
