Staying active is good for your body and your mind. A few simple precautions can also help protect your teeth and jaw while you train or play sports.
Wear a Sports Mouthguard
A properly fitted mouthguard cushions the teeth and helps protect the lips, tongue, and jaw during contact sports and high-impact activities.
Stay Hydrated
Water supports saliva production and helps rinse away food particles and acids. Choose water over sports drinks whenever possible to limit added sugar.
Address Grinding and Jaw Tension
If you clench your teeth during workouts or wake with jaw discomfort, speak with your dentist. A custom appliance may help protect your teeth.
