Dental injuries in sport happen quickly and often without warning. A single impact can lead to chipped, displaced, or knocked-out teeth, and without the right protection or prompt treatment, the consequences can be long-term.
At The Park Practice, we work closely with Glasgow Warriors and other sports teams, providing dental care designed around the realities of contact sport. This experience shapes how we approach every patient, whether you are competing professionally or playing at club level.
Our focus is to reduce the risk of injury, protect your teeth during play, and act quickly when treatment is needed.
Custom-Fitted Mouthguards
Off-the-shelf mouthguards often feel bulky, move during play, and offer limited protection. This can affect both comfort and performance, and in many cases, they are not worn consistently. Our custom-fitted mouthguards are made using a digital scan of your teeth, creating a secure, close fit that stays in place during impact.
Emergency Dental Care for Sports Injuries
If a dental injury occurs, what you do in the first hour can make a significant difference. Whether a tooth has been knocked out, chipped, or displaced, early assessment and treatment improve the chances of saving the tooth and avoiding more complex procedures.
Team Partnerships and Support
We work with sports teams across Glasgow to provide practical, ongoing dental support for players.
This includes:
If you are involved in running a team or club, we can help put a simple and effective dental care plan in place for your players.
As the official dental partner of Glasgow Warriors, we have direct experience working with professional athletes in high-impact environments. This gives us a practical understanding of how dental injuries happen, how they can be prevented, and how to manage them effectively when they occur. Our approach is focused on protecting both your oral health and your ability to perform with confidence.
If you are involved in sport and want to protect your teeth, or if you need urgent care following an injury, our team is here to help. Call 0141 334 1211 or get in touch to book a mouthguard fitting or discuss team partnerships at our Glasgow West End clinic.
Each and every year, many athletes (adults and children) are treated for dental injuries that could have been avoided, prevented or minimised by simply wearing a mouthguard.
