With many schools back in session, that also means the start of sports. It is estimated that approximately 60 million children and teens (ages 6-18) will participate in some type of organized sports this year. If you have a child in a sports program, you are probably wondering why a dental office is talking about sports.<\/p>\n

Well, a dental office can provide one of the most important pieces of equipment protection for your child. That piece of equipment is a mouthguard. We can even create this item for adults that continue their path into competitive sports. Mouthguards are crucial safety equipment pieces that are proven to help prevent any type of mouth, jaw, or dental injury. There are also many experts and studies that have shown that a mouthguard can help with sports related concussions (we ask that you please research this topic as well on your own). Please know that there are many experts that weigh in on this topic and we stand behind the fact that they are essential in preventing dental related injuries.<\/p>\n

Part of what makes a mouthguard so effective is the fit. We find that many people who have dental injuries when wearing mouthguards were store bought mouthguards that were not professionally fitted. So, be sure to give us a call so we can help in doing our part to protect against potential injury or tooth damage – (570)421-3060.<\/p>\n
