Custom Athletic Mouthguards
If you or your child participate in any contact sports (such as soccer, football, basketball), you need to protect your smile. Custom Athletic Mouthguards are made of a durable material that protects against tooth to tooth and teeth through lip and cheek injuries.
While it might not make a big difference in their game, a custom made sports mouth guard may big difference in keeping your child out of the dentist’s office, especially since the National Youth Sports Foundation estimates that over 5 million teeth get knocked out every year during kids’ sporting activities. And these dental related injuries affect all age groups.
Compared to the lifetime rehabilitation cost of replacing a missing tooth (or teeth), the preventative cost of a custom mouth guard offers great insurance. Dental injuries in general could be significantly reduced if kids (and adults!) wore custom mouth guards when they play in sports.
