CUSTOM-MADE MOUTHGUARDS

Please don't risk it in the impact; protect it!

Accidents happen, especially when it comes to contact or high impact sports. We believe in protecting your mouth and teeth in the best way we can: Custom-made mouthguards.

WHAT ARE CUSTOM-MADE MOUTHGUARDS?

Our mouthguards are appliances that are made to fit your mouth and provide protection to your teeth and jaw joints against injuries that occur while playing sports.

At  Lady Margaret Road Dental Surgery, we recommend mouthguards for active children and adults, especially for boxing, soccer, hockey and football, as sport is one of the most common causes of dental injury.

NEED TO KNOW
