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

Protection and performance: the OSO Athletic mouth guard

Tuesday, February 18th, 2014

373639_blogSports injuries are one of the most common types of dental injury. At City Dental we advise all our patients who participate in contact sports to wear a protective mouth guard and we are proud to be one of the UK’s only dental practices to offer the hugely impressive and innovative OSO Athletic mouth guard. This is much more than your average mouth guard. Not only does it protect your teeth against injuries caused by contact and impact, it also ensures that your jaw joint is always in the best position, which enables you to focus on your performance on the field, rather than worrying about aches and pains. If your jaw is not in the best position, this can increase pressure on the facial muscles, which can restrict movement and cause pain and stiffness. With the OSO Athletic, you can rest assured that your jaw will be in the optimum position from the moment you place your custom-made mouth guard over your teeth. The OSO Athletic mouth guard does not just benefit your mouth; it facilitates better muscular movement throughout the body. We actively encourage amateur and professional athletes who take part in sports such as rugby, boxing, martial arts, hockey and lacrosse, to wear a mouth guard and we recommend the OSO Athletic for unrivalled levels of protection and enhanced performance.
