As part of the return to school and preparations for sports returning, don’t forget to protect teeth against possible trauma with a bespoke mouthguard from Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic in Farnham.
Professor Bill Sharpling can provide custom-made sports mouthguards that can include the wearer's name as well as other important information. In most cases they can be provided in school colours or colours of choice, and can even include logos and branding.
Bill has provided sports mouthguards to professional athletes including premier league rugby players and even professional golfers!! As reported in Today's Golfer magazine (issue 271), Bill worked with Under Armour to provide sports mouthguards to Ross Fisher who has ranked as high as 18 in the world rankings and has been a Ryder Cup player and winner. Bill helped Ross with a lower mouthguard that reduced his teeth clenching and improved his concentration.
Although it may seem surprising to have a gum shield for golf, it is because when competing in any sports, your natural reaction is to clench your jaw as part of the 'fight or flight' response in your brain. This releases hormones, such as cortisol, which cause stress, fatigue and distraction. Wearing a mouthguard prevents teeth clenching, reducing stress hormones by up to 50 per cent while maintaining endurance and focus.
Whether it’s a mouthguard to protect against damage from contact or non-contact sports, book an appointment with Professor Bill Sharpling at Elmsleigh House. Bill will ensure your professionally made and custom-fitted sports mouthguard fits your teeth and mouth precisely, offering so much more protection than 'off the shelf' guards.
Costs include two 30-minute consultations; the first for impressions and the second to fit and collect your mouthguard - from £175 for a standard guard that includes the wearer's name; £182 for a coloured guard (more if multiple colours); and £190 for a guard with logos or branding.
