Are you and your family getting active in sports this season? We want adults and children to know they may be overlooking an important safety precaution. Athletes participating in any contact sport are advised to wear some kind of mouth protection. A mouth guard helps prevent damage to the teeth and jaw, and also helps prevent injuries to the cheeks, tongue, and lips. The best way to protect your mouth during sports activities is with a custom-fit mouth guard.
You can find generic mouth guards in most sporting goods stores but these often end up feeling uncomfortable, leading to child and teenage athletes in particular not wearing the protection at all. A bulky or cushioned mouth guard can even interrupt breathing and speaking. Custom mouth guards can be fit over braces and won’t interrupt normal activity. Have a dentist perform a custom mouth guard fitting and get a mouth guard made of thin, hard plastic that protects your teeth and still fits comfortably. This is an easy precaution to take for athletes, and you can go right back to playing your best.
