What Are Sports Guards?

Sports guards, also known as mouthguards, are custom-fitted dental appliances designed to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw during athletic activities. Whether you’re playing contact sports or engaging in recreational activities, a sports guard reduces the risk of dental injuries, such as chipped teeth, broken teeth, and even concussions.

At Bolduc Dental, we create custom sports guards tailored to your unique bite, ensuring maximum protection and comfort while you play.

Why Choose a Custom Sports Guard?

• Superior Fit:
  Unlike store-bought options, custom sports guards are designed to fit your mouth perfectly, providing better protection and comfort.

• Enhanced Protection:
  Custom guards cushion impacts, reducing the risk of dental injuries and jaw trauma.

• Durable Materials:
  Our sports guards are made from high-quality, long-lasting materials that stand up to rigorous use.

• Improved Performance:
  A snug, comfortable fit allows you to breathe and speak easily during play, keeping your focus on the game.

Who Needs a Sports Guard?

Sports guards are recommended for anyone participating in:

• Contact Sports: Football, basketball, hockey, rugby, and martial arts.

• Recreational Activities: Skateboarding, mountain biking, or other activities with a risk of falls.

• Youth and Adult Athletes: Custom guards are essential for athletes of all ages, especially those with braces or other dental appliances.

Caring for Your Sports Guard

To maximize the lifespan of your sports guard:

• Store it in a ventilated case to prevent bacterial buildup.

• Avoid exposing it to extreme heat, which can warp the material.
