Mouthguards: Why Every Active Adult and Child Should Wear One

Protecting your smile goes beyond brushing and flossing — especially if you or your child plays contact sports.Accidents on the field or court can lead to chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth. At Oral Experts Group, we provide custom-fitted mouthguards for patients in Toowoomba through our clinics at Range Dental and Southtown Dental.

Why Mouthguards Matter

Mouthguards cushion the impact to your mouth, reducing the risk of:

• Broken or lost teeth

• Lip and tongue injuries

• Jaw fractures

• Long-term dental complications

Whether it’s rugby, hockey, basketball, or even cycling — a mouthguard is a small investment that can prevent major dental work.

Custom Mouthguards vs Store-Bought

While store-bought “boil-and-bite” mouthguards are easily available, they don’t offer the same level of fit, comfort, or protection as a professionally made one. Custom mouthguards made at Range Dental or Southtown Dental:

• Fit snugly to your teeth and jaw

• Stay securely in place during physical activity

• Allow you to speak and breathe more comfortably

• Are made from high-quality, durable materials

When Should You Get a Mouthguard?

You should wear a mouthguard whenever you’re at risk of contact to the face or jaw. This includes:

• School or club sports

• Recreational activities like skateboarding or mountain biking

• During physical therapy or training where falls or hits are possible

For children and teens, mouthguards should be checked and refitted regularly as their teeth and jaw grow.
