Worried About Knocking Out a Tooth?
Proper protection can reduce or eliminate the many teeth that are knocked out each year from trauma to the mouth while playing sports. Over 5 million teeth are lost each year just in the US! The use of a custom-made mouthguard will protect your teeth without hindering adequate breathing. The mouthguards found in stores do not fit or protect well and they often make breathing difficult during exertion. The American Dental Association encourages the use of a custom mouthguard for these sports:
Wrestling, basketball, boxing, football, gymnastics, handball, lacrosse, martial arts, roller hockey, ice hockey, rugby, shotputting, racquetball, skateboarding, skiing, soccer, field hockey, squash, surfing, skydiving, volleyball, acrobatics, water polo, and weight lifting.
