Sports can be tough. That is why our dentist and team have a tough solution to keep your smile healthy and protected. Our sports mouth guards come in a variety of options and are used to keep your mouth safe from damage. Our dentist may recommend sports mouth guards if you play high-impact sports like football, rugby, wrestling or hockey, though you may benefit from these easy oral appliances as well if you play other sports like soccer, basketball or volleyball. Whatever sport you play, sports mouth guards are a great way to keep your smile safe.

Custom tailored to fit your mouth with comfort and ease, athletic mouth guards are designed to prevent mouth injuries, such as chipped, knocked-out or loose teeth. They also help protect the soft tissues of your mouth from damage and reduce the likelihood of biting your tongue, cutting your cheeks or lips, and damaging your gums. These oral appliances fit over your teeth and form a barrier against outside contact, which helps you feel confident and secure while you play your chosen sport.

We invite you to call our dental office today for more information about sports mouth guards and how they can benefit your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Mouth Guards in Woodinville

Why do I need a sports mouth guard?

A sports mouth guard protects your teeth, lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw from injury during athletic activities. Dental injuries are among the most common sports injuries — a knocked-out, cracked, or chipped tooth can require expensive restorative treatment. A custom sports mouth guard from Oasis Family Dentistry is one of the best investments you can make in protecting your smile.

What sports require a mouth guard?

Mouth guards are essential for contact sports such as football, hockey, basketball, boxing, and wrestling. They are also strongly recommended for non-contact sports where there is a risk of falls or collisions, including gymnastics, cycling, skateboarding, and soccer. Our team at Oasis Family Dentistry recommends a mouth guard for any sport that poses a risk of facial impact.

What is the difference between a custom sports mouth guard and a store-bought one?

Custom sports mouth guards from Oasis Family Dentistry are crafted from precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit that stays in place during activity without restricting breathing or speaking. Boil-and-bite guards from sporting goods stores tend to be bulky, uncomfortable, and significantly less protective. A custom guard provides superior fit, comfort, and protection.

Can children get custom sports mouth guards?

Yes! Custom sports mouth guards are available for children and teenagers through our children’s dentistry and family dentistry services. Because children’s mouths grow quickly, guards may need to be updated periodically as teeth develop.

How do I care for my sports mouth guard?

Rinse your mouth guard with cool water or mouthwash after each use and clean it with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Store it in a ventilated case to prevent bacteria growth and avoid exposing it to heat, which can warp the material. Bring your mouth guard to your regular dental visits so our team can inspect it for wear.

How long does a custom sports mouth guard last?

With proper care, a custom sports mouth guard typically lasts one to three years. Active grinders or younger patients whose mouths are still growing may need more frequent replacements. Our team at Oasis Family Dentistry will advise when it’s time for a new guard.
