Mouth Guards 

Do I need a mouthguard?

More than five million teeth a damaged or lost each year as a result of a sport or accident injury that a properly fitting mouthguard could have prevented. A recent survey found that 25 per cent of adults are using an improperly fitted mouthguard. While you can buy one-size-fits-all mouthguards in sports stores and chemists, they aren’t nearly as effective as those moulded to your teeth and gums specifically.

A tailor-made mouthguard is typically a one-off cost for adults that will effectively protect your teeth. These are clearly a must for children and adults involved in physical activity that endangers their teeth.
