Children and adults who are active in sports should wear mouth protection during practice and games. Mouth guards protect the teeth from any impact, but also protect the cheeks, tongue, and lips from various mishaps. Most sporting goods stores carry mouth guards, but they are generic in size and form. These mouth guards often end up feeling bulky and uncomfortable, leading to not wearing the protection at all. Wearing a mouth guard that doesn’t fit can even interrupt breathing and speaking. Come see us and have a dentist perform a custom mouth guard fitting.
To outfit you or your child with a custom mouth guard, the process will begin with an impression. This impression is sent to a dental lab where the final product will be fabricated. The result is 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!
