Why Custom Mouthguards Are Essential
A dental sports injury can happen in any session — an elbow in basketball, a collision in AFL, a slip during gymnastics. The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends custom-fitted mouthguards for all contact and collision sports.
Here's why custom makes the difference:
| Feature | Custom (Core Dental Bayside) | Chemist Boil-and-Bite |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Precision to your teeth | Generic, often loose |
| Impact absorption | Dual-laminate material | Minimal |
| Comfort | Low-profile; breathable | Often bulky |
| Durability | 2–3 seasons | Often one season |
| ADA Recommended | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
Restoring a knocked-out tooth can cost ,000+ for a dental implant. A custom mouthguard starts from **** — protect what you have.
Our Team at Core Dental Bayside
