A mouthguard is an important protective device that is worn over the teeth. Using a mouthguard protects the mouth and jaw from damage and absorbs impact if a person suffers any type of oral or dental trauma. Wearing a mouthguard during high-contact sports will protect your teeth from chipping or breaking and reduce the risk of cheek and tongue injury. Mouthguards are important even for non-contact sports like gymnastics, biking, or skiing as these are where most mouth injuries actually occur!

At your appointment, Dr. Jaramillo and our team will take an impression of your teeth. This impression will be used as a mold to create a customized mouthguard that fits perfectly and comfortably on your teeth. Your custom mouthguard will be fabricated at our in-house dental lab and will be ready in just a few days. Once it is ready, we will have you try on your new mouthguard to ensure the fit is snug and comfortable. That’s it! Your new custom-fitted mouthguard will prevent irritation to the gums, allowing you to easily speak and drink liquids without having to remove it.
