Water Polo is a fast, physical contact sport where accidental elbows, hands, heads and the ball itself can cause significant dental injuries. Despite being played in the water, players are at risk of chipped, broken or knocked-out teeth, as well as cuts to the lips, tongue and cheeks.

A properly fitted mouthguard helps absorb and disperse impact forces, reducing the risk of injury to the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth. Mouthguards may also help stabilise the jaw during collisions and are recommended by many dental and sporting organisations as an important piece of protective equipment.

Our Basketball & Water Polo Mouthguard is particularly well suited to Water Polo because its slimmer profile makes it easier to breathe, communicate with teammates and remain comfortable during extended periods in the pool.

Benefits of wearing a Water Polo Mouthguard:

• Helps protect against chipped, cracked and knocked-out teeth

• Reduces cuts and injuries to lips, cheeks and tongue

• Helps absorb impact from accidental collisions

• Helps reduce the effects of concussion

• Comfortable for breathing and communication

• NZ Made from BPA-free EVA material

Dental injuries are among the most common facial injuries in sport, and many are preventable with a properly fitted mouthguard. Replacing a single damaged tooth can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, making a mouthguard one of the most affordable pieces of protective equipment a player can own.
