Staying active is one of the best ways to enjoy retirement years, whether it’s playing tennis, biking along the Ottawa River, or joining a community pickleball game. But while exercise keeps your body healthy, it’s just as important to protect your smile. For Ottawa’s active seniors, custom mouth guards can be the key to maintaining strong, healthy teeth and dentures.
Why Seniors Need Mouth Guards Too
Many people associate mouth guards with kids in sports, but seniors benefit just as much—if not more. Here’s why:
- Sports Protection – Accidental impacts during tennis, biking, or other activities can damage natural teeth or dentures.
- Nighttime Grinding (Bruxism) – Many seniors unknowingly grind their teeth while sleeping, leading to jaw pain, worn-down dentures, and fractured teeth.
- Concussion Reduction – Studies show that properly fitted mouth guards can reduce the severity of concussions in case of jaw impact.
Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard?
Unlike store-bought versions, custom mouth guards are designed specifically for your mouth and dentures, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit. They:
- Stay in place without slipping.
- Provide maximum protection against fractures and chips.
- Last longer thanks to high-quality materials.
The Comfort Factor
Seniors often avoid mouth guards because they find them bulky or hard to wear. With today’s dental technology, custom guards are lightweight, breathable, and easy to get used to—making them perfect for everyday protection.
