My Young Son Plays Rugby And Is About To Get Braces. What’s The Best Way To Protect His Teeth?

Tuesday, April 1st, 2014
Q.

My son had one of his front teeth broken with a cricket bat when he was 9 (he has about half the tooth left). He had it filled to rebuild the tooth but has knocked it out or lost the filling 5 times since. He is now 12 and plays rugby. What is the best way to protect his teeth? Are there any mouth guards that have added protection for protecting already damaged teeth? Is there a long term solution that will make it stronger and at what age should that work be completed? He is due to be referred to the orthodontist to correct his ‘fangs’ in the next month.
Many thanks.

Can you suggest how to stop teeth clenching?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Q.

I have a problem with clenching my teeth. This has caused problems with my jaws. I wear a mouth guard at night, but I also find myself clenching during the day. I often have severe headaches which I attribute partially to the clenching. Any suggestion to keep me from doing so. Also, I believe my lower canine teeth are being pushed back.

I would like to have veneers but fear they will break (I am a professional fighter) when in the ring. Is there a particularly strong veneer, and can you give me advice about receding gums?
