🏉🦷 Protect Your Smile. Protect Your Future.
Whether you're playing football, basketball, netball, hockey or martial arts, your smile deserves the same protection as the rest of your body.
During Dental Health Week (3–9 August), the Australian Dental Association is reminding young Australians that many sports-related dental injuries are preventable.
A knock to the mouth can result in:
🦷 Broken or chipped teeth
🦷 Damage to the tooth nerve
🦷 Jaw injuries
🦷 Even the loss of a tooth
These injuries often don't have a simple fix and can require years of ongoing dental treatment. A custom-made mouthguard, professionally fitted by your dentist, offers the best protection by cushioning and absorbing the impact of a blow to the face.
💧 And while we're talking about sport... don't forget what's in your drink bottle.
Many sports and energy drinks contain high amounts of sugar and acids, which can increase the risk of tooth decay and gradually wear away your enamel. For most people exercising recreationally, water is the best choice to stay hydrated while protecting your teeth.
At Lower Templestowe Dental Excellence, we believe prevention is always better than treatment. A custom mouthguard and healthy hydration habits are two simple ways to help keep your smile healthy for years to come.
