1. Protective Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an essential piece of equipment in contact
sports. They should be worn by athletes of all ages who
participate in sports such as:
Football
Hockey
Lacrosse
Wrestling
Basketball
Baseball/Softball
Soccer
…any sport where contact is a possibility.
Wearing a mouth guard helps prevent against structural damage
to your teeth and jaw and also helps prevent injuries such as
lacerations to your cheeks, tongue, and lips. Mouth guards have
also been shown to help decrease the risk of concussions.
Mouth guards are available in most any sporting goods store, but
you should be careful when purchasing a mouth guard. Mouth
guards like this do not offer the best level of protection. They
are also usually ill-fitting and uncomfortable.
For the highest level of comfort and protection, you should visit
your dentist for a custom mouth guard fitting. A custom mouth
guard is created specifically for the optimal protection of YOUR

2. mouth. It is created with thin plastic that is hardened to protect
your teeth. The thinness of the custom mouth guard allows for
easy breathing and also allows for easy communication
(especially important for you star quarterbacks calling out the
signals).
See your dentist today for a custom mouth guard to protect your
teeth and ensure that you maintain the highest level of
performance on the field, court, or rink.
