Mind your mouth:
It’s sport and mouthguard season again and Cairns Precision Dental Group are asking you to mind your mouth.
Australian research has shown that sports injuries account for about one-third of all traumatic injuries to teeth. Failure to wear a custom-made mouthguard can double the risk of damage to teeth from sporting injuries.
Over-the-counter mouthguards available through pharmacies are generally ill-fitting and can restrict normal speech and breathing. The best protection is obtained by a custom-fitted mouthguard available through a dentist.
Custom mouthguards are accurately moulded to a person’s teeth and are more comfortable and secure to wear. Investing in a custom mouthguard costs less than a pair of sporting shoes - a small price to pay to avoid the expense and heartache of repairing damaged teeth and gums.
At Cairns Precision Dental Group our mouth guards are made out of shock absorbing material and come in a range of funky colours.
We have been appointed by several local schools recently as the dentist of choice for the production of custom made, professionally fitted mouthguard to correctly protect our children’s teeth.
So if you or someone you know participates in contact sports such as:
AFL, Football, Hockey, Soccer, Softball, Martial Arts, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Wrestling, Baseball, Basketball, Netball, or any other contact sport.
we stand by the adage of “Prevention is better than cure” and encourage the use of a mouthguard with all contact sports.
