Who Should Get a Mouthguard?
Mouthguards are suitable for a range of people, including:
Athletes
Anyone playing contact or high-impact sports such as football, basketball, hockey, boxing, or martial arts should wear a sports mouthguard to protect their teeth and jaw from sudden blows.
Teeth Grinders (Bruxism)
f you clench or grind your teeth while sleeping, you may benefit from a night guard. This helps reduce jaw tension, tooth wear, and even morning headaches.
People with TMJ Disorders
Some patients with jaw joint issues (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) wear custom mouthguards to reduce pressure and ease symptoms.
Children and Teens in Sports
oung athletes often forget how vulnerable their teeth are. A properly fitted mouthguard can prevent long-term dental damage while they’re still growing.

Mouthguards – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a mouthguard?
A mouthguard is a protective device worn over your teeth to prevent injury or damage. It’s commonly used during sports or at night to protect against teeth grinding (bruxism).
Why should I get a custom mouthguard instead of a pre-build one?
Custom mouthguards are made to fit your teeth precisely. They’re more comfortable, offer better protection, and are less likely to fall out or interfere with breathing.
How long does it take to get a custom mouthguard?
At Carousel Dental in Cannington, it usually takes about 1–2 weeks from your initial impression appointment to receiving your finished mouthguard.
Can mouthguards help with teeth grinding at night?
Yes! A night guard (a type of mouthguard) is specifically designed to prevent damage caused by grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep.
Are mouthguards suitable for kids and teenagers?
Absolutely. Children and teens who play sports or grind their teeth at night should wear a properly fitted mouthguard to protect their growing smiles.
How do I clean my mouthguard?
Rinse it with cold water after each use, gently brush it with a toothbrush, and store it in a ventilated container. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the material.
How often should I replace my mouthguard?
You should replace your mouthguard every 1–2 years, or sooner if it becomes worn, damaged, or your teeth shift (especially for growing children or orthodontic patients).
Can I wear a mouthguard if I have braces?
Yes, we can create a custom mouthguard that fits comfortably over braces and protects both your teeth and orthodontic hardware.
Do private health funds cover custom mouthguards?
Many Australian health funds do provide rebates for custom-fitted mouthguards. Check your extras cover or speak with our team
Is a mouthguard uncomfortable to wear?
