Typically, you should expect to replace your sports mouth guard every year, but there are other times and reasons when you should replace them too.
If you play contact sports, your dentist in Downtown Calgary will recommend that you wear a sports mouthguard to prevent injury. For example, if you play a sport such as football, a mouthguard will lower your risk of getting a chipped or broken tooth when you are tackled on the field. While a custom sports mouth guard offers a good level of protection, they aren’t indestructible. When your mouthguard wears out, it’s time to replace it with a new one.
