The right mouth guard to protect your teeth. - Tooronga Family Dentistry in Glen Iris

The heart breaking picture of a girl who suffered severe trauma to her mouth when she was hit by a hockey stick during a game in Tasmania, highlights the importance of a well fitting mouth guard. As with every piece of gear that is meant to shield us from damage, it is important to get the best protection. When it comes to mouth guards one can get over the counter ones from the chemist, but because they need to fit a large variety of shapes and sized, they are less comfortable to wear and they have a poor fit.

Research has shown that the poor fit can severely reduce the protection the mouth guard provides at the critical moment of impact. Since the poor fitting mouth guard instead of protecting the teeth, gets dislodged on impact and no longer provides protection. This is the reason we provide a wide range of mouth guards which are custom made and can provide different levels of protection.
