It's important that you choose the right sports mouthguard to protect your teeth because, if you don't, you could end up with a chipped tooth or even worse - a broken tooth.

When choosing a sports mouthguard, it's important to consider both its comfort and fit. You also want to make sure that the mouthguard is made of a durable material that can withstand impact. Latex and silicone are both durable materials, but latex may be more comfortable for some people.

Finally, it's important to make sure that the mouthguard has been approved by the American Dental Association (ADA) so that you know it will provide adequate protection for your teeth.

The best way to clean a sports mouthguard is by using cold water and mild soap. Make sure to avoid any harsh chemicals or toothpaste, as they can damage the material. Soak the mouthguard in cold water for about 15 minutes, then use a soft bristled toothbrush to brush away any dirt or debris. Rinse it off with cold water, then allow it to air dry. You can also put it in the fridge or freezer for a few hours to help kill any bacteria that may be on it.

Yes. For children's sports mouthguards, it's important to make sure they fit properly and don't restrict the child's breathing or speech.

Mouthguards should fit snugly, cover all of the teeth, and extend to the gum line. They should be made out of a soft material that can conform to the shape of the teeth and gums, and they should be easy to keep clean.

It's also important that children breathe and speak easily while wearing their mouthguard. If it's hard for them to breathe or speak, they may not want to wear it, which could put them at risk for injury.

A dental night guard is a device that is worn in the mouth during sleep to protect teeth from grinding and clenching. It is usually prescribed for people who have a history of tooth wear, jaw pain, or headaches.

Anyone who experiences any of the following symptoms during sleep should consider using a night guard: tooth wear, jaw pain, tension headaches, facial pain, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint, and difficulty opening the mouth wide.

There are three general types of dental night guards: the full-coverage, the partial-coverage, and the no-coverage. The full-coverage night guard is a thick, bulky appliance that covers all of your upper teeth. The partial-coverage night guard is a thin appliance that only protects your front teeth. And the no-coverage night guard does not protect your teeth at all—it's just used to keep your jaw in place.

Soak the dental night guard in a denture cleaner overnight. In the morning, brush it with a soft toothbrush to remove any debris or plaque. You can also rinse it off with cold water.
