I play sports regularly as an adult, including contact and high-impact activities and I’m worried about injuring my teeth or jaw. I’ve heard that mouthguards can help, but I’m not sure if they’re really necessary for adults. I’d like to know if wearing one can actually prevent serious dental problems during sports.
Yes, mouthguards are strongly recommended for adult sports enthusiasts, especially those involved in contact or fast-paced sports. They help protect your teeth, gums, jaw and even reduce the risk of concussion caused by sudden impacts. At Ashford Dental Center, dentists can design custom-fitted mouthguards that offer better comfort, durability and protection compared to store-bought options, making them ideal for regular sports use.
