Staying active is important for your health, and being safe while engaging in sports is also important! All Coast Dental can provide you with an important piece of safety equipment. Athletes participating in any contact sport should wear some kind of mouth protection. A mouth guard helps prevent damage to the teeth and jaw, and also helps prevent injuries to the cheeks, tongue, and lips.
Sporting goods stores carry mouth guards, but they are generic in form and size. These mouth guards often end up feeling bulky and uncomfortable, leading to child and teenage athletes in particular not wearing the protection at all. A very ill-fitting mouth guard can even interrupt breathing and speaking. Custom mouth guards can be fit over braces and won’t interrupt normal activity, so visit Bear Creek Dental for a custom mouth guard fitting. Get a mouth guard made of thin, hard plastic that protects your teeth and still fits comfortably. This is an easy precaution to take to protect your mouth, and you can go right back to playing your best!
