What Is A Mouthguard?
A mouthguard is a protective dental appliance that covers the teeth and gums with a removable barrier that is inserted into the mouth. A custom-fit mouthguard is molded to a person’s bite to fit perfectly over their teeth for optimal protection.
Because some people have a higher risk of dental trauma or injuries, a mouthguard is a preventative tool that can protect against:
- Broken and chipped teeth
- Loose or knocked-out teeth
- Soft tissue injuries in the mouth
- Injuries to the jaw bone
- Damage to braces and other orthodontic gear
- Head injuries
- Other dental emergencies
The Absolute Dental Sparks team offers different types of personalized mouthguards to help our patients keep their smiles healthy and strong.
How Does A Mouthguard Work?
A mouthguard is designed to protect a person’s teeth by absorbing and redistributing impact, stabilizing the jaw, and shielding the mouth. They are made from durable yet flexible materials that fit snugly around the upper and lower teeth. A person can insert and remove the mouthguard to use them only when needed.

Who Needs Custom-Fit Mouthguards?
Your Sparks dentist may recommend a mouthguard if you are at risk of experiencing dental trauma from your current activities, habits, or medical conditions. People who may benefit most from a mouthguard include:
- Athletes who play high-impact or contact sports
- People who want to protect their braces during activities
- People who have bruxism or grind their teeth
- Patients at risk of falling or suffering head injuries
What Youth Sports Require Mouthguards?
Sports are an excellent way for kids to stay active and build valuable skills they can take with them into adulthood. However, there is a risk of dental injuries in some cases. Talk to your Sparks pediatric dentist about mouthguards or sports guards if your child participates in these sports:
- Football
- Martial arts
- Hockey
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Boxing
Data shows that basketball, football, hockey, martial arts, and boxing had the highest risk of dental injuries. Coaches or youth sports administrators may require these student-athletes to wear protective mouth gear.

Are There Mouthguards For Teeth Grinding?
Chronic teeth grinding, a condition known as bruxism, can cause people to unconsciously clench their teeth. This pressure can lead to serious health issues and dental damage, including:
- Chipped teeth
- Loosened teeth
- Damaged tooth enamel
- Jaw disorders
- Headaches
- Soreness in the neck and face
- Earaches
- Disrupted sleep
Our Sparks dentists can help ease symptoms and prevent further damage with custom mouthguards and night guards for teeth grinding. Many people with bruxism only grind their teeth at night while they sleep, so custom night guards are an excellent solution for this issue. Contact us to learn more!

Mouthguards FAQs
Yes! Absolute Dental makes customized mouthguards affordable for all patients. Also, while mouthguards may be an initial investment, they can prevent serious dental emergencies that may require expensive treatments. Ask about our competitive rates, special offers, and flexible payment options.
While there are stock mouthguards available at some pharmacies or sporting goods stores, they do not provide the same level of comfort and protection as custom-fit mouthguards. A dentist can create a personalized mouthguard using a mold of your teeth and cutting-edge materials for a superior fit.
Depending on the type of mouthguard you have, your dentist will provide detailed instructions on how to keep it clean and maximize its use. Directions may include using soap and water or a special soaking solution to remove harmful bacteria.
