Mouth Guards in Mississauga

If you’ve enrolled your child or yourself into hockey, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, soccer, self defense or any contact sport or activity, you have undoubtedly created a list of safety equipment you will need. If a mouth guard isn’t on your list of equipment, add it now!

While over the counter mouth guards are available and offer some protection, we suggest getting them customized for your own self as well as for your children. Call to speak with Dr. Shier at Dr. David Shier Dentistry, Mississauga about a custom fitted mouth guard. A professionally created mouth guard will protect the teeth, gums and bone structure by molding properly during use. Over the counter versions may prevent chipped or damaged teeth, but are not made to protect the important structures that support the teeth. Dr. Shier can create mouth guards for you and your child ensuring that your activities are safer for your smile.

Mouthguards are also used to combat bruxism, which is the unconscious habit of grinding your teeth during sleep or stressful events. If they are used in this way, they are typically called nightguards. You may suffer from bruxism if you find yourself with sore facial muscles, headaches, locked jaw, or sensitive teeth. Talk to us for more information if you feel that you might suffer from bruxism!

Nightguards are an easy and non-invasive solution for bruxism. Nightguards are made from a soft material, and our Mississauga dental team will work with you to create a custom fit for your teeth for ultimate comfort. Once made, you can wear your nightguards over your top and bottom arch, and it will protect you from grinding and damaging your teeth.
