Seletar Emergency Dentist Mouthguard Tips | Nuffield Dental

Not solely will our Seletar emergency dentist professionals look after any missing or chipped teeth, they also like to give advice. That said, here’s a few words on the types of mouthguards you should wear and why they are so important.

Tips for Cleaning

Keeping your athletic mouthguard clean between games is essential. If you don’t make sure to keep this important part of your protective equipment in good shape, bacteria can build up and cause issues. Imagine getting a cavity or some form of gum disease like peritonitis from a mouthguard that’s designed to protect you?

Good Shape

Keeping your mouthguard in good shape isn’t as difficult as you might think. For example, one of the first steps to ensure that they stay clean and bacteria free is to rinse them after every sporting event. Our Seletar emergency dentist professionals suggest it’s best to use a small toothbrush and some cool water.

You can even use your finger or the corner of a cloth to clean your mouthguard. It’s a good idea to use toothpaste if you’ve got the time to do a thorough cleaning. Taking the time to add this to your regular sporting routine will help you to have an attractive smile that lasts for the rest of your life.

Grind Your Teeth? Then You Need A Special Mouthguard

People who think of mouthguards often picture athletes in their mind’s eye. There are other folks who need the protection of these accessories too. People who grind their teeth at night are often prescribed a special mouthguard to keep them from wearing down their molars.

Local Pharmacy

Here’s a few tips on choosing the right kind. Try to stay away from the kinds that you can buy over-the-counter at your local pharmacy. These are quite often bulky and uncomfortable for sleeping. The best idea is to come in and see us so we can have a chat with you about what best suits your purposes. Quite often, we can recommend a nighttime mouthguard made from a thin material that won’t bother you.

It’s important to remember that over-the-counter solutions are usually a one-size-fits-all type option. We can make a customized mouthguard for you that fits perfectly and won’t interfere with your sleep.

We have a Seletar emergency dentist team that’s always ready and willing to provide you with the help you need. It’s always a good idea to keep our contact information handy.
