SPORTS DENTISTRY AT BRISBANE SMILE BOUTIQUE

If you play a contact sport, you can consult with our Brisbane based sports dentist about protecting your teeth.

A blow to the head while playing hockey or football can knock out or fracture teeth, so to protect your smile while you play, we recommend getting fitted for a custom professional mouth guard.

The cost of a custom mouth guard is far outweighed by the cost to repair broken or knocked out teeth.

Benefits of Mouth Guards

A mouth guard made at Brisbane Smile Boutique is custom fit to your teeth for the ultimate protection, while you can breathe and talk normally. A custom mouth guard prevents or minimises sports dental injuries, with the perfect mouth guard being durable and comfortable.

Mouth Guards for Braces

If you or your child has braces or another fixed dental appliance, you still need to wear mouth guards while playing sports. The stock mouth guards you can buy at sporting good stores do not offer the protection you need when you are getting slammed to the ground on the football field. Our dentist for athletes will be able to create a mouth guard that protects your lower teeth if needed.

Braces are designed to move your teeth into correct alignment, you should wear a custom fit mouth guard, because a one size fits all mouth guard could damage the brackets and undo any progress made with orthodontic treatment.

Dr Leila Haywood is a dedicated sports dentist who provides appliances to prevent dental injuries from interfering with an athlete’s season.
