Sports Mouth Guard in Kidbrooke Village
Focus on your game—we will handle the rest!
Sports Mouthguards—an Overview
Contact sports such as football, hockey, cricket, and baseball can result in mouth injuries. The game’s enthusiasm and competition make it difficult to remember to play responsibly, which can result in tooth fractures, major bleeding, and knocked-out teeth. That is why we provide custom-made sports mouthguards in Smile 4 U – Kidbrooke Village that offer enough protection against oral injuries. Whether you’re an amateur or a professional player, our sports mouthguards are designed to keep you focused on the game rather than the risks.
What Are Sports Mouthguards?
Sports mouthguards are prostheses that protect the teeth during vigorous activities like contact sports and help prevent dental injuries. They are particularly recommended for contact sports such as football, rugby, hockey, and boxing, but they can also be used for any activity that may involve facial contact, such as skating or cycling.
Types of Sports Mouthguards
- Custom-fitted mouthguards: These are custom-made to fit your teeth and gums, giving maximum protection and comfort. Your dentist creates moulds of your teeth and gets them made at a dental laboratory. They provide the greatest fit. They can also be tailored and designed to accommodate fixed braces.
- Stock mouthguards: These are ready-to-use devices that are sold at most sports goods stores. While they are affordable and frequently accessible in sporting goods stores, they can appear clunky.
- Boil-and-bite mouthguards: These are made of thermoplastic polymers that soften in hot water and are then moulded to suit the teeth. These offer a more custom fit than standard mouthguards and are widely accessible at sports goods stores.
Do You Need Sports Mouthguards?
Mouthguards are an important sports gear if:
- You are a professional athlete: Whether you are a seasoned player or just starting, a sports mouthguard is essential for protecting your teeth at all levels.
- Your child is training in a particular sport: Young athletes are more prone to tooth injury, hence a mouthguard is required.
- You have fixed braces for teeth straightening: If you have metal braces on your teeth, a blow to the face might seriously damage them and cut your lips.
We regularly provide consultations for sports mouthguards treatments to patients from SE3, Kidbrooke Village, Eltham, Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham, Sidcup, Woolwich and Bexleyheath.

What Our Patients Say
Fantastic practice. Lovely dentist but the hygienist is absolutely brilliant! Having sensitive teeth, i advised her I was sensitive to hot and cold water. She used warm water to clean my teeth and I left with a big fat smile on my face. I already booked my next appointment!
Karen is absolutely lovely. She is fabulous at her job. Great on the phone and certainly makes you feel welcome.
They would be lost without her.
Cheers Karen
Customer service by receptionist is always friendly and chatty.
Mr Pourezza always quick to see you and get it done efficiently.
Thank you 🙂
I had an emergency dental crisis. I’ve never been to this clinic before as my Dentist is in London Bridge. I live in Kidbrooke Village and this is local to me, and since it was an emergency and everywhere I had called were fully booked, I had no other choice but to give it a go. I’m so glad I did. The dentist is so lovely, and he did a stellar job! It was pain-free and completed within minutes. There was even complete transparency with the price.
Thank you very much for your assistance today!
Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
How do I clean my sports mouthguard?
Rinse your mouthguard after each use, clean it every day with a soft toothbrush and mild toothpaste, and soak it in a cleaning solution once a week. Avoid using hot water or harsh chemicals.
Can children with braces wear mouthguards?
Absolutely. We provide personalised mouthguards that are specifically designed to fit braces, ensuring both safety and comfort.
Do I need a new mouthguard every season?
Not really! It is suggested that you replace your mouthguard at least once a year owing to wear and tear or changes in the structure of your teeth, which can affect fit and efficacy.
