Mouthguards - Uses And Types...
| ||||||||||
 |
"Corporate Center Dental Care, why should you wear a mouthguard?" |
| While mouthguards are not mandatory equipment in all sports, their worth is indisputable. Mouthguards cushion blows to the face and neck. A mouthguard should be part of every athlete's gear, no matter the sport. Even adults or weekend athletes need to protect their smile and preserve their health. |
Do: At Corporate Center Dental Care we feel that you should wear a mouthguard at all times when playing sports. Wear a mouthguard custom-fitted by a dentist, especially if you wear bridges or braces.
Don't: Wear removable appliances like retainers when playing sports.
There are two types of mouthguards:
Custom-made: Designed by a dentist and made on a model of your teeth. These cause very little interference with speaking or breathing. They provide the best protection and fit over braces and fixed bridges. They also cost more.
Ready-made: Purchased at most sporting goods stores. Also referred to as "boil and bite." They are the least expensive, the least effective, and least comfortable.
Please call our office at 859 223-4644 if you would like to "play it safe!" and wear a comfortable mouthguard to protect your teeth.
