The school year is back in swing, and we know that means many of our patients are getting back into the rhythm of classes, social life, and afterschool sports. We love to watch our patients out on the field, and it brings us joy to know that they have an opportunity to excel at something they truly love. But at the same time, fall sports can be dangerous. One bad fall or hard tackle can result in chipped teeth, a sore (or broken) jaw, or even worse. Thankfully, there’s a simple way to protect against the potential ills of after school sports – a custom made mouth guard.
Guard Your Best Asset
A mouth guard is a simple appliance that provides protection and support for the teeth, tongue, and soft tissues of the mouth. It’s simple, inexpensive, and highly effective – and it’s easy to get. All you need to do is let us know and we’ll schedule for a sizing appointment. We’ll use that appointment to take impressions of your teeth, then have a mouth guard custom manufactured to fit your unique bite and fit around any orthodontic appliances. After a brief wait, you’ll have a brand new mouth guard to keep you safe on the field. Wear it during practices and games and you can play your very hardest without having to worry about your teeth!
