Medland Mouthguards

Yes!

Mouthguards should be worn during training sessions and competition by anyone participating in ‘contact’ sports or where there is possible contact between sporting equipment and your face or jaw.  Contact sports include:

• Rugby
• AFL
• Soccer
• Hockey
• Polo
• Basketball
• Wrestling/boxing
• Mixed Martial Arts.

You don’t have to be a professional athlete to wear a mouthguard.  Dental injuries can happen in people of all ages and activity levels.

Wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard helps to absorb and spread the impact of a blow to your face, which might otherwise result in an injury to your mouth or jaw.

When we break a bone, our body can usually do a pretty good job of repairing the damage. 

When we break a tooth, it’s a very different story.

Dental injuries can occur in people of all ages and activity levels.  The cost and lifetime commitment to ongoing dental treatment to maintain or replace an injured tooth makes a custom-fitted mouthguard one of the best investments in sporting equipment you can make.

A wide variety of mouthguards are available for purchase in Australia.

Pharmacies offer a variety of over-the-counter products in both  standard and semi fitted  styles.  Whilst these devices may provide better protection then wearing no mouthguard, they can often feel uncomfortable to wear, are more likely to fall out and can sometimes make speaking and breathing difficult.

There are many types of sports mouthguards available in Australia, ranging from cheap, over-the-counter types to professionally custom-fitted mouthguards.

The Australian Dental Association (ADA) advise that over-the-counter mouthguards do not provide enough protection against injuries to your teeth, mouth or jaw.

Custom-fitted mouthguards provide a better fit than other varieties, as they are made to suit you or your child’s individual needs. They are comfortable, well-fitting, allow one to speak clearly, won’t shift or fall out and won’t restrict breathing.
