Mouth Guards & Night Guards
Custom mouth guards are an important way to protect your teeth, whether you’re playing sports or managing teeth grinding.
For athletes, mouth guards are essential in contact and high-impact sports such as football, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball, baseball/softball, and soccer—any activity where contact is possible. Wearing a mouth guard helps prevent damage to your teeth and jaw, as well as injuries to your cheeks, lips, and tongue. They have also been shown to help reduce the risk of concussions.
For patients who grind or clench their teeth (often during sleep), night guards provide protection against excessive wear, fractures, and jaw discomfort. Over time, untreated grinding can lead to tooth damage, sensitivity, and headaches. A properly fitted night guard helps reduce these risks and protects your long-term oral health.
While store-bought mouth guards are available, they are often bulky, poorly fitting, and offer limited protection. At Foothills Dental Centre, we provide custom-made mouth and night guards designed specifically for your mouth. These are made from durable, high-quality materials to provide optimal protection while remaining comfortable, allowing for easier breathing, speaking, and long-term wear.
