Sports Guards We love sports and activities, and love supporting kids, teens and adults being active. Like parents everywhere, we also want everyone to be safe. Mouth related injuries are the number one most reported injury when it comes to individual and team activities both indoors and outdoors. To protect the mouth, a sports guard or mouth guard is an essential piece of athletic gear that should be part of every standard equipment checklist, even from an early age. At North Hills Dental, we hope you push your muscles and endurance, while taking your health into consideration, including your oral health.There are a number of sports when a mouth guard seems obvious, or even required, such as football or boxing. But there are many sports where mouth injuries happen even more frequently. Studies show that soccer and basketball have even higher dental injury rates than youth playing football. The reality is that though collision and contact sports are higher-risk sports for the mouth, dental injury can occur in non-contact activities too, such as gymnastics and skating. 

Brux Guards When you clench your teeth or grind your teeth at night, this is called bruxism. This is highly dangerous to your teeth. One of the most common, and effective, fixes is to invest in a night (mouth) guard. This puts a soft barrier between your teeth. That way, when you put pressure between your teeth, the only thing getting damaged is the mouth guard itself. Sometimes, having a mouth guard can stop the behavior entirely. Other times, you have to go through and get a new mouth guard every few years as it gets worn out. Contact our office today if you struggle with bruxism in your sleep.
