Are sports guards necessary and are all made equal?
Sports guards protect against one of the most preventable injuries in sports broken or lost teeth from a blow to the face. Therefore, they are recommended for most sports activities, especially for children as they are more prone to getting injuries to the mouth. Sports guards are NOT all made equal. “One fits all” types usually are not well fitting and bulky, making it less likely that you will wear them. Some may even damage your gums. Generally, we make sports guards from an imprint we take of your mouth. These will fit snugly to your teeth as they are personalized to match your teeth. We can also get creative and make various color combinations for your sports guard. Its easy to get your team colors! If you have questions about sports guards, or any other inquiries, contact us as we love to see new patients.
