Dental Service: Mouth Guards in Saskatoon

Mouth guards are devices worn over teeth to protect them from injury or damage during sports or other physical activities. They are typically made of plastic and fit over the upper teeth. Mouth guards cushion blows to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face, or jaw. In addition to athletic use, mouth guards are also used in some dental procedures to help protect the teeth from damage caused by grinding or clenching the teeth during sleep. Mouth guards can be purchased at sporting goods stores or can be custom-made by a dentist.
