Mouth & sports guards in Nashua, NH
A custom mouth guard protects your teeth, lips, and jaw during sports and active play. It's comfortable to wear, lets you breathe and talk easily, and stays in place when it matters most.
Why athletes need mouth guards
A hit to the face can chip, crack, or knock out teeth, cut the lips and cheeks, or injure the jaw. Mouth guards help absorb and spread the force of an impact. The American Dental Association recommends them for contact and collision sports such as football, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, wrestling, and martial arts. They also help for activities like skateboarding and biking. Athletes with braces need protection too, since brackets can cut soft tissue during a fall or collision.

Custom vs. store-bought guards
Stock guards come in set sizes and often fit loosely. Boil-and-bite guards fit better but can be thin in key areas and bulky elsewhere. A custom guard is made from an impression or a digital scan of your teeth. That gives you a secure, comfortable fit with the right thickness where protection is needed. Because a custom guard stays put without clenching, it's easier to talk, breathe, and drink, so athletes are more likely to actually wear it.
Care and replacement
Rinse your guard before and after each use, brush it gently with a soft toothbrush and cool water, and let it dry in a ventilated case. Keep it out of hot cars and away from hot water, which can warp it. Bring it to checkups so we can check the fit. Children and teens may need a new guard as their teeth and jaws grow, and anyone should replace a guard that's cracked or worn.
