Did you know that dental injuries are some of the most common face injuries in sports? A single knocked out tooth can require a lifetime of expensive dental work. Whether you play contact sports like rugby or football, or non contact sports like skateboarding, protecting your smile is crucial.
A good mouthguard does more than just protect your teeth from breaking. It acts as shock absorber, cushoning your lips, tongue, and jaw. It can even help reduce the risk of concussions by preventing the lower jaw from being slammed into the base of the skull.
While store-bought “boil-and-bite” mouthguards are cheap, they often don’t fit well. They can be bulky, make it hard to breath, and provide less protection. A custom made mouthguard from your dentist is bulkyfree. It’s made from a precise impression of your teeth, ensuring the best fit, comfort, and most importantly the highest level of protection.
Your smile is an investment. Don’t wait for an accident to happen. Contact us today to schedule an appointment for your custom sports mouthguard. Play Safe!!
