More than 200,000 mouth and jaw injuries occur each year, making protective gear essential for anyone participating in sports or recreational activities. Located in Cloverdale, WA, Wright Street Dental Clinic strongly supports mouthguard use to shield your smile from severe, unexpected physical impact.
Key Protection Benefits
A properly fitted mouthguard acts as a shock absorber, protecting your smile and jaw in several crucial ways:
- Prevents Severe Trauma: Reduces the risk of jaw fractures, concussions, and neck injuries by cushioning impacts and preventing the lower jaw from jamming into the upper jaw.
- Shields Soft Tissue: Holds lips, cheeks, and tongue slightly away from sharp tooth surfaces to prevent painful lacerations, bruising, and cuts.
- Essential Orthodontic Defence: Creates a protective barrier over braces, safeguarding soft tissue from being forced into metal brackets during a hit.
Custom Care & Modern Technology
To ensure maximum safety, Dr Navangi Fernando and Dr Rajinda Pathirana recommend custom-crafted mouthguards over generic store-bought options. Our expert dental team utilizes modern dental technology to deliver high-quality care to Perth and surrounding neighborhoods, including Belmont and Rivervale, designing comfortable, precisely fitted mouthguards that allow you to breathe and speak easily while playing.
