Patients Near Dublin18 Can Protect Their Teeth During A Family Christmas With Our Mouthguards

Accidents and injuries can happen to anyone at any time and at this time of year, the last thing you want is to be spending your Christmas sitting in a hospital waiting room or suffering unbearable pain. At Dublin18 Dental Care near Dublin18 we want all our clients to have a very merry Christmas and we are encouraging sportsmen and people who grind their teeth at night to take advantage of our bespoke mouth guards.

Mouthguards for sport

Sport is great fun and it has a host of health benefits, but it can also be very dangerous, especially for your teeth, so we advise patients who regularly participate in dangerous or contact sports to wear a protective mouth guard. Mouth guards are designed to provide protection for the teeth to prevent injuries caused by falling or impact from balls or other hard objects. Sports that require mouth guards include rugby, hockey, lacrosse, boxing and ice hockey. Our mouth guards are custom-made for each patient to give a great fit.

Mouthguards for teeth grinding

Teeth grinding is a major cause of damage to the enamel and tooth structure and it can also cause headaches and jaw pain. Most people who clench or grind their teeth do so at night and this means that they are unaware that they are even doing it. We provide custom-made night guards to prevent the teeth from coming into contact with each other, thus preventing damage to the biting surfaces of the teeth and the muscles around the jaw joint.

Christmas is a time for relaxing and spending time with friends and family, not for worrying about injuries and pain, so why not contact us to find out more about our mouth guards. The treatment process is very simple, there is no pain involved and it is always better to be safe than sorry. Wearing a mouth guard gives you peace of mind, as well as protection, leaving you free to make the most of the festive season.

Mouthguards for All Round Protection for Patients from Dublin18

Mouthguards can be used for a number of reasons, from protection during contact sport to treating the pain of teeth grinding. Here at Dublin18 Dental care we offer a range of mouth guards to suit individual patient’s needs, which includes:

Nightguards

Many people suffer from teeth grinding for a number of reasons, with anxiety and stress being a main cause of teeth grinding for patients from Dublin18. Patients often grind their teeth at night so are unaware of such behaviour until symptoms of teeth grinding occur, such as a painful jaw and flattening of the teeth.

A nightguard is worn throughout the night whilst the patient sleeps so that if teeth grinding does occurs the teeth and jaws are protected. A nightguard doesn’t solve the problem of why you are teeth grinding but it does stop you causing yourself more harm and injury.

Sports

Aggressive contact sports such as rugby and boxing require mouthguards in order to stop any harm or injury from occurring if the person is hit in the mouth or face. Dental injuries can be very severe if a mouthguard is not worn whilst taking part in contact sports. There could be tooth loss or tooth breakage, which can lead to costly dental treatment in the long run.

Essix Retainers

Essix retainers are made from completely clear plastic and are used after braces have been taken off to prevent the teeth moving back to their old position. Essix retainers are incredibly strong, keeping your teeth in place while you sleep. As well as wearing your Essix retainer during the night they should also be worn for around 4 hours during the daytime, however, they are very comfortable and clear, so no one will be able to see them.

It is very important that you wear your retainer after orthodontic treatment to ensure that your post treatment positioning remains in place and doesn’t revert back to the way they were prior to the treatment.
