Why Athletes Need Sports Mouthguards?
Every year, countless dental injuries occur during sports—and many of them can be prevented with a properly fitted mouthguard. If you or your child participates in athletic activities, a sports mouthguard is one of the most effective ways to protect against cracked, chipped, or knocked-out teeth.
A sports mouthguard is a flexible appliance worn over the upper teeth during physical activity. It helps cushion impacts to the face and minimizes the risk of serious injuries to the teeth, mouth, and jaw. At Pearl Dental Care in Florence, KY, we offer custom-made sports mouthguards designed specifically for your bite—delivering superior comfort, protection, and performance compared to over-the-counter options.

- Hockey
- Wrestling

Mouthguard Care Tips for Long-Lasting Protection
Proper care keeps your custom sports mouthguard clean, effective, and ready for every game. At Pearl Dental Care in Florence, KY, we recommend the following tips:
- Rinse before and after each use to remove debris and bacteria
- Brush gently with a toothbrush and mild soap—avoid using hot water, which can warp the shape
- Store in a ventilated case to keep it dry and prevent bacteria buildup
- Keep out of reach of pets, who often mistake it for a chew toy
- Bring it to your dental checkups so we can inspect for damage or wear
- Replace it at least once a year, or sooner if it becomes worn or uncomfortable
