Mouth guards

Mouth guards are an essential piece of gear designed to protect your teeth from trauma—even including excessive grinding or clenching and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Since they absorb harsh impact or movement directed at your mouth or jaw, they are also ideal for protecting against potential damage to teeth caused by sports.

There is a high probability of trauma to your teeth without a mouthguard while participating in athletic activities. This could ultimately lead to tooth loss or the need for a tooth extraction or restorative treatment (such as bonding or a crown). To schedule a consultation for a mouth guard near you, for yourself or your child, contact us at Oasispark Dental.

Designed to ensure you breathe more efficiently throughout the night, these appliances provide a robust and preventative approach to protect against various possible dental issues.
