Sports Mouthguards Fort Worth
Keeping You in the Game While Safeguarding Your Smile
If you or a loved one is involved in a competitive or recreational contact sport, make sure to safeguard your smile with a sports mouthguard. Your protective oral appliance will absorb the forces of sudden impact or accidental blows to your face or head, reducing the risk of injuries to your teeth, lips, and gums. It will also stop you from accidentally biting your tongue or soft tissues.
We encourage you to consider your mouthguard a necessary piece of athletic equipment. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), sports mouthguards prevent over 200,000 high school and college football-related dental injuries each year! To see if a sports mouthguard is right for you, speak to any of our team members during your next appointment.

What Are the Different Types of Sports Mouthguards?
Here are the leading types of mouthguards:
- Stock Mouthguards: These inexpensive, pre-made mouthguards are readily available for purchase at most sporting goods stores. While they offer some protection, they often don't fit well and can be very bulky, interfering with your breathing and making it challenging to talk.
- Boil and Bite Mouthguards: Also sold at most sporting goods stores, these mouthguards provide a better fit than their stock counterparts. To prepare your boil-and-bite mouthguard, you will place it in boiling water to soften it, bite into it, then shape it to your teeth for a more customized fit.
- Custom-Made Mouthguards: Sports mouthguards custom-made for you at our dental office offer the best protection for your smile. Created from impressions of your teeth, they are comfortable, easy to clean, and don't interfere with breathing or speech.
Caring for Your Sports Mouthguard
Make sure to rinse your mouthguard before and after wearing it and store it in a clean perforated container to protect it from damage and prevent bacterial growth. Avoid high temperatures, which can distort your protective oral appliance. If you notice any wear or tear, you'll need to replace your sports mouthguard to maintain maximum protection for your smile.
