Mouthgaurds
Mouthguards are one of the most essential pieces of sports equipment for anyone participating in physical activities. They’re a low-cost investment in your dental health. A well-fitted mouthguard allows you to breathe, speak, and protects your teeth and jaw from knocks and impacts.
At Hallett Cove Smiles, we provide custom-made mouthguards for both adults and children involved in contact sports, such as football, basketball, rugby, lacrosse, and more.
Our custom-fitted mouthguards are designed to protect your smile, teeth, jawbones, and gums from critical damage. When properly fitted, they cushion the soft tissues in your mouth from impact, much like a car’s bumper bar absorbs a collision.
Mouthguards can help prevent serious injuries, including fractures, chipped or cracked teeth, broken jaws, and cuts to the lips and tongue.
If you’re interested in protecting yourself or your children, contact Hallett Cove Smiles on 08 8387 1733 to arrange a mouthguard fitting as soon as possible.

How Do Mouthguards Work?
Mouthguards work by absorbing and distributing the force from a hit or impact to the mouth or jaw. A well-fitted mouthguard offers superior protection for both areas.
Custom-fitted mouthguards are superior to over-the-counter options as they are designed to fit the exact shape of your mouth. They are also more durable, balance your bite, and allow you to speak and breathe with ease.
If you or your child wears braces or other orthodontic devices, a mouthguard is especially important to prevent serious injury. A blow to the mouth without a mouthguard could cause cuts, as well as damage to both the braces and ongoing orthodontic treatment.
Custom-made mouthguards, when properly maintained, stored, and checked, can last several years. If you have a mouthguard and are unsure about its condition, bring it in for a check-up – we can assess its usability or arrange a new one if needed.
Why Are Mouthguards Important?
If you or your child plays a contact sport, the risk of dental injury is high. High-impact sports like football, hockey, boxing, and rugby pose particular risks to oral health.
Mouthguards provide protection from serious sporting injuries such as broken jaws, fractured, cracked, or knocked-out teeth, and cuts to the lips and tongue.
While most players wear a mouthguard for obvious contact sports, even non-contact activities like cricket, basketball, netball, touch football, skateboarding, bike riding, and soccer carry the risk of accidental collision and dental trauma.
