Sports and Dental Injuries: Glen Iris Guide to Mouthguards and Prevention

Facts About Sports-Related Dental Injuries

• Children and teens in Glen Iris have the highest rate of dental trauma from sports activities.

• The biggest culprits: footy, basketball, cricket, cycling, and hockey.

• Injuries happen from falls, contact with elbows or hands, or being hit in the face by a bat, ball, or other sporting equipment.

Why You Need a Custom Mouthguard in Glen Iris

Wearing a mouthguard greatly reduces the chance of dental injury on the field or court. At Tooronga Family Dentistry, our custom mouthguards come in three levels of protection, offering the best fit, comfort, and safety.
Store-bought (chemist) mouthguards may seem easy, but often won’t stay in place when you need them most.

What To Do After a Dental Injury

If you or your child suffers a dental injury during sport, make an appointment immediately with Tooronga Family Dentistry for emergency care.
If the person lost consciousness, has unstoppable bleeding, or deep face or tongue cuts, seek urgent medical attention right away at your nearest emergency facility.
