Mouthguards
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Why should you wear a mouthguard? |
| While mouthguards are not mandatory equipment in all sports, their worth is indisputable. Mouthguards cushion blows to the face and neck. A mouthguard should be part of every athlete's gear, no matter the sport. Even adults or weekend athletes need to protect their smile and preserve their health. | |
|
Do: Wear a mouthguard at
all times when playing sports. Wear a mouthguard custom-fitted
by your dentist, especially if you wear bridges or braces. |
|
| Don't: Wear removable appliances like retainers when playing sports. | |
| There are two types of mouthguards: | |
| Custom-made: Designed by a dentist and made on a cast of your teeth. These cause very little interference with speaking or breathing. They provide the best protection and fit over braces and fixed bridges. They also cost more. | |
| Ready-made: Purchased at most sporting goods stores. They are the least expensive, the least effective, and least comfortable. | |
| Please call our office if you would like to "play it safe!" and wear a comfortable mouthguard and protect your teeth. |
