Family Dentistry Services
Sports can be tough. That is why our dentist and team have a tough solution to help keep your smile healthy. Sports mouth guards are an excellent choice for patients who play high-impact sports because they protect the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth from harm.
Our dentist and team are dedicated to keeping your smile healthy and free from discomfort. To help us do this, we provide several types of mouth guards at our office. For our athletic patients, we often recommend a type of mouth guard called an athletic mouth guard or sports guard.
Sports guards fit over your teeth while you play sports and participate in other athletic activities to protect your smile from injury. Sports guards are especially important for our patients who play high-contact sports such as wrestling, football, hockey and rugby; however, all types of athletes can benefit from an athletic mouth guard. Whether you play soccer, basketball or baseball, a sports guard can be a great way to protect your smile and keep it safe.
While a number of types of athletic mouth guards are available, a custom-made mouth guard is the most effective in protecting your smile. This type of mouth guard is designed to comfortably fit your smile and prevent dental injury, such as knocked out and chipped teeth. A sports guard can also help to prevent injury to the soft tissues of the mouth, including the tongue, lips, cheeks and gums.
It’s recommended to replace your sports mouth guard every season, after significant dental work, or if it shows signs of wear and tear. For growing children and teens, more frequent replacements may be necessary to accommodate changes in their teeth and jaw.
Yes, wearing a mouth guard is even more important if you have braces, as it helps protect both your teeth and orthodontic appliances from damage. We can create custom mouth guards designed to fit comfortably over braces.
No matter what your needs or goals for your smile may be, our dentists and teams are here to help. We look forward to meeting you and every member of your family and helping you take your first steps to better smiles.
