Anytime there is a strong chance for contact with other participants or hard surfaces, it is highly advisable to wear a mouthguard. Whether you are a competitive athlete or just enjoying a weekend game, protecting your smile is crucial. Located in Cloverdale, WA, Wright Street Dental Clinic is dedicated to helping active patients across Perth and surrounding neighbourhoods, including Belmont and Rivervale, keep their teeth safe during physical activities.
When Protection is Essential
We recommend that players who participate in high-contact sports such as basketball, softball, football, wrestling, soccer, rugby, and martial arts always wear mouthguards while competing. However, contact sports aren't the only risk to your teeth. Participants in recreational activities like in-line skating, skateboarding, and bicycling also face a high risk of falls and hard impacts, making a mouthguard a smart choice for these sports as well.
The Benefit of a Custom Fit
While over-the-counter boil-and-bite mouthguards are available, they often lack a proper fit, which can make breathing and speaking difficult and offer inferior protection. Dr Navangi Fernando and Dr Rajinda Pathirana strongly recommend custom-fitted sports mouthguards for optimal safety and comfort.
At Wright Street Dental Clinic, our expert dental team utilises modern dental technology to deliver high-quality care and create precise, comfortable, and durable mouthguards tailored specifically to the unique shape of your mouth.
