The Importance of Supporting Your Sports Smile

Monday, February 8th, 2016

2112592_blogWhether you compete on a global stage or just enjoy a kick around from time to time with your mates, it’s important to support and protect your smile. At City Dental Leeds, we’re proud to offer one of the world’s leading mouth guards, the OSO Athletic. This innovative device will not only reduce the risk of dental injuries, it will also provide you with comfort and enhance your sporting performance.

About OSO Athletic

OSO Athletic is an advanced mouth guard that takes dental devices to the next level. This custom-made gum shield is designed to adjust to the shape of your mouth, altering the position of your jaw joint to reduce tension in the facial muscles and improve the efficiency of muscle contraction.

Many people find wearing a mouth guard uncomfortable, but with OSO Athletic, the guard is bespoke to you, so it fits perfectly with no chance of slipping, sliding or rubbing.

Studies have shown that using the OSO Athletic guard not only protects your teeth and gums, but also improves strength and balance. By reducing muscle strain, this gum shield also helps to reduce the risk of TMJ disorder, a common problem that causes symptoms to develop in and around the temporomandibular joint.

Who is the OSO Athletic for?

The OSO Athletic offers numerous benefits for a wide range of athletes and sports performers of all ages and abilities. You don’t have to be an elite athlete to be at risk of injury and we strongly recommend this mouth guard to anyone who plays team sports, such as rugby and hockey, or participates in fighting sports or martial arts.

If you’d like to find out more about the OSO Athletic mouth guard or you’re keen to invest in this incredible innovation, call us today.

How to Care For Your Teeth When You Play Sports

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015

2112592_blogAlthough we actively encourage patients of all ages to live active lifestyles, we also ask you to bear your teeth in mind when you’re getting ready to get out into the field, onto the pitch or into the ring. We encourage all our patients who participate in contact sports to wear a mouth guard to reduce the risk of injury and protect those pearly whites from danger.

About mouth guards

Mouth guards are appliances worn over the teeth to provide a protective barrier against hard surfaces, objects or injuries caused by falling awkwardly or clashing into other people. Mouth guards can be bought and moulded at home, but we strongly recommend paying a little more for a dentist-made, custom-designed mouth guard. By wearing a mouth guard, you can reduce your risk of injuries such as chipped, broken and dislodged teeth.

The OSO Athletic Mouth Guard

At City Dental Leeds we are delighted to be one of just a few practices in the country to offer the amazing OSO Athletic Mouth Guard. This highly advanced appliance promises to improve your sporting performance as well as protecting against injuries.

The OSO Athletic Mouth Guard is hugely beneficial for patients who participate in a range of sports and it enhances performance by reducing tension in the muscles and increasing the efficiency of muscle contraction. It does this by adjusting the position of the jaw joint. The appliance is specifically designed to modify the position of your jaw to ensure that it remains in optimum place throughout the duration of your performance. This increases comfort and ensures that the facial muscles are not under unnecessary strain. Trials have shown that wearing this innovative mouth guard can also help to improve strength and power.

We recommend the OSO Athletic for participants of all ages and levels of ability in the following sports:

  • boxing
  • Field hockey and ice hockey
  • kick-boxing
  • rugby union and league
  • wrestling
  • martial arts
  • lacrosse
  • cage fighting

If you have any questions about mouth guards or you would like to learn more about the OSO Athletic Mouth Guard, call us today and we will be happy to help!

We are delighted to be one of a handful of clinics in the UK to offer the incredible OSO Athletic mouth guard.

Preventing Dental Injuries

Thursday, February 12th, 2015

2112592_blogDental injuries can happen at any time and like most accidents, they usually occur when you least expect them. However, some scenarios are more dangerous than others and there are often steps you can take to protect your teeth and gums in potentially hazardous situations, such as when you are playing sport. Whether you enjoy a kick about on the rugby field once a week or you’re an elite performer in a fighting sport, we strongly recommend wearing a gum shield. We are incredibly proud to be one of just a handful of practices to offer patients the incredible OSO Athletic mouth guard.

What is the OSO Athletic mouth guard?

Mouth guards are appliances that are worn when you play sport as a means of reducing the risk of injury and protecting the teeth. The OSO Athletic mouth guard is an advanced gum shield that offers protection as well as a host of other benefits proven to enhance sporting performance.

Usually, custom-made gum shields are designed to fit over the teeth perfectly, but with the OSO Athletic mouth guard, customisation goes a step further. Every time you place the gum shield in your mouth, it automatically adjusts the position of your jaw to ensure that it is the optimum place. Modifying the position of the jaw reduces tension in the muscles, increases the range of movement, reduces the risk of joint stiffness and pain and facilitates more efficient muscle contraction throughout the body. Studies have shown that using the OSO Athletic mouth guard is proven to help increase strength, power and balance, so it may just be the catalyst to giving you the edge over an opponent.

Who can benefit from the OSO Athletic mouth guard?

We recommend the OSO Athletic mouth guard for anyone who participates in fighting sports, martial arts, contact sports, sports that involve heavy objects and sports that involve hard surfaces and fast-paced action, such as hockey, lacrosse and ice hockey. Although this is a very advanced piece of kit, it is not just reserved for professional athletes and can be highly beneficial for participants of all abilities and levels.

If you’d like to find out more, simply call us or bob in if you’re working or shopping in Leeds.
