Often taken for granted, your teeth are critical to much of your daily functioning. Not only do they provide the support and structure for your face and jaw, but they help make sure you can chew, bite, speak, and even breathe correctly.
Anyone of any age can benefit from the added safety a mouthguard provides in various situations. Protecting the primary (or baby) teeth in children is important to help ensure the proper development of bone structures and oral function as they grow, while protecting adult teeth helps them last a lifetime—they’re the only ones you get! Strong, healthy teeth also play a psychological role in your self-confidence and how you interact with those around you, so protecting your teeth from an increased risk of damage or injury is paramount.
Teeth can be damaged by excessive pressure, such as from teeth grinding or clenching, or from the impact of contact sports or other physical injuries.
