Mouthguards: Your Essential Shield for Dental Protection at EGil Dental

Mouthguards, though simple in appearance, play a pivotal role in safeguarding your teeth from unforeseen dental injuries. Whether you’re an athlete, a nighttime teeth grinder, or someone seeking extra protection for your pearly whites, EGil Dental in Miami is here to ensure that your smile remains unscathed.

Why Mouthguards Matter

Many people often undervalue the significance of a mouthguard until they face an unexpected dental incident. These protective devices are custom-fitted to comfortably cover your upper teeth, offering a barrier against potential damage.

Benefits of Mouthguards:

• Prevents tooth fractures and chips: Contact sports, nighttime grinding, or even sudden accidents can cause your teeth to break or chip. Mouthguards act as a cushion to minimize this risk.
• Protects soft tissues: Your lips, tongue, and cheek lining can get cut against your teeth during physical activities. Wearing a mouthguard prevents such injuries.
• Reduces the risk of tooth loss: A forceful blow can knock out a tooth. A mouthguard helps in distributing the force, saving your tooth from potential loss.

Don’t wait for an accident to realize the importance of protection.

Choosing the Right Mouthguard at EGil Dental

Not all mouthguards are created equal. Depending on your specific needs, there are various types to consider:

1. Stock Mouthguards: Pre-made and ready to wear. Although they’re the least expensive, they might not fit perfectly and provide lesser protection.
2. Boil and Bite Mouthguards: Made from thermoplastic material, these are softened in hot water and then formed to your teeth using finger and tongue pressure.
3. Custom-made Mouthguards: Created specifically for you at EGil Dental. These offer the best fit and protection.

For optimal safety and comfort, we always recommend our custom-made mouthguards. They are tailored to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Caring for Your Mouthguard

To ensure your mouthguard’s longevity and maintain oral hygiene:

• Clean it regularly: After each use, clean it with toothpaste or mouthwash.
• Store in a vented container: This prevents bacteria buildup.
• Check for wear: Bring it during your dental visits for us to check. If it’s worn out, it won’t offer optimum protection.
• Avoid high temperatures: Don’t leave it in direct sunlight or hot water, as it can warp.

Mouthguards for Bruxism & TMJ Disorders

Apart from sports protection, mouthguards are a blessing for those who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ disorders. Wearing one can reduce the pressure of clenching, which can lead to jaw discomfort or even damage your teeth.

If you suffer from these conditions, it’s essential to get a specialized mouthguard. At EGil Dental, we’re skilled in diagnosing and creating mouthguards for specific dental concerns.

FAQs

• Q: How often should I replace my mouthguard?
  • A: Typically, mouthguards should be replaced after each sports season or every year for those with dental concerns. Children and teens might need to change them more frequently due to growing mouths.
• Q: Can I wear a mouthguard with braces?
  • A: Absolutely! In fact, it’s even more crucial to protect your braces and avoid potential injuries. We offer specialized mouthguards for those with braces.

Hoy llevé por primera vez a mi niña, puedo asegurar que el trato fue excelente desde recepcionista, la asistente y la doctora. Todos muy amables, muy limpio, la doctora Gabriela se tomó el tiempo de explicarme el procedimiento que necesita mi niña. Ya pedi cita para mi, y pienso recomendar a toda mi familia. Les doy un 10/10

Have been coming to this dental office for about 6 years now and every time I come in for an appointment I am waiting in the waiting room for about an hour and sometimes LONGER! If the doctor is backed up the least they could do is give you a call! Horrible customer service from the front desk girl doesn’t even greet you or let you talk as she simply says write your name on the paper with attitude. They’re there laughing and messing around instead of doing their job. 4 people got here after me and were let in before me because they knew someone who worked there. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! The doctor is very nice and does a very good job but with the amount of time I’m waiting in the waiting room it is not I worth it. Spare your time and don’t come here! Definitely will be looking for a new dentist office!

Great doctor and professional service team. From the moment I walk into the office to the moment I leave. Dr. Gil and his team explain the treatment and procedures thoroughly and I never have had an issues with my appointments. I have been an avid patient for three years and I have nothing bad to say about them, my experience with them has been flawless. Keep up the good work.

I had an outstanding  experience no only with Doctor Gil who demonstrated a vast knowledge and skills in his profession, but also the personal in general with so fast and gentle customer service. I spent years without dental care and visiting Girl’s practice changed my vision about it. He took the time to explain benefits and prevention methods to maintain dental health. He was professional as the same time compassionate, skilled, and was willing to answer all my questions. After visiting his clinic I feel more confident, tremendously improved my dental care, and know how to prevent further complications. Will definitely continue his service. Thank you so much Doctor Gil!!!
