Mouth Guards in Sushant Lok, Gurgaon
Custom-fitted protection for your teeth during sports and while you sleep.
Quick answer
A custom mouth guard is a dentist-made cover that protects your teeth from impact during sport, or from grinding and clenching at night. At Kapoor's Safe Hands Dental in Sushant Lok, Gurgaon, guards are made from an impression or scan of your own teeth, so they fit snugly and stay comfortable.

Overview
A mouth guard is a simple thing that saves a lot of trouble. In sport it cushions a blow to the face so a tooth doesn't get chipped, knocked out or pushed out of place. At night it stops your teeth from grinding directly against each other, which wears them down and can leave you with a sore jaw and headaches. The difference between a good guard and a poor one is fit, and that's why we make them from your own teeth.
Types of Mouth Guards
Sports guards: a thicker, cushioned guard for cricket, football, hockey, boxing, martial arts, skating and other contact or high-speed activities
Night guards: a slimmer, harder guard worn while sleeping if you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism)
Guards for braces: designed to protect your cheeks, lips and brackets during sport
Children's guards: made to fit growing mouths and replaced as new teeth come through
Why a Custom Guard Is Better Than a Shop-Bought One
Boil-and-bite guards from a sports shop are better than nothing, but they're often bulky, loose or too thin in the wrong places. Loose guards get spat out or make it hard to breathe and talk, so people stop wearing them. A guard made by a dentist follows the shape of your teeth exactly, so it stays in place, feels comfortable and protects where it counts.
Signs You May Need a Night Guard
You wake up with a sore jaw, tight face muscles or a dull headache
Your teeth look flattened, chipped or worn down
Your teeth feel sensitive without an obvious cavity
A partner hears you grinding at night
You've broken crowns, veneers or fillings more than once
How Your Guard Is Made
Step 1: A quick check of your teeth, gums and bite, and a talk about why you need the guard.
Step 2: An impression or digital scan of your teeth.
Step 3: The guard is made to fit your mouth.
Step 4: You try it on, we check the fit and bite, and we adjust it until it's comfortable.
Looking After Your Mouth Guard
Rinse it after each use and brush it gently with a soft brush and cool water
Keep it in a ventilated case, away from heat, a hot car or a bag pocket with your keys
Bring it to your check-ups so we can see how it's wearing
Replace it when it cracks, thins out or stops fitting well

Key takeaways
- A custom guard fits better than a shop-bought one.
- A night guard protects teeth but doesn't cure grinding.
- Children's guards may need remaking as teeth come through.
- A guard you won't wear can't protect you, so comfort matters.
