If your child is taking part in Rugby or Hockey during the year it is compulsory that they wear a mouthguard when participating in these sports. This is in line with the advice of the Rugby Football Union and Hockey Associations.This will include all levels of ability and will cover training and practice sessions as well as competitive fixtures. Whilst accidents involving teeth and gums are fortunately quite rare, when they do occur there is no doubt that the wearing of a mouthguard can prevent permanent damage and loss of teeth since it acts like a shock absorber spreading the force over a larger area and over a longer time. When compared with the cost of dental work required to cap or bridge teeth, the cost of a dentally fitted mouth guard is minimal.

You can choose to have your own mouthguard fitted with a local dentist, or we work with OPRO, who are the largest manufacturers of Custom-Fit mouthguards in the world.  OPRO have launched their revolutionary Instant Custom-Fit mouthguard which is a dentist level mouthguard that can be fitted at home.
