If your child is involved in active sports such as hockey, baseball, soccer or football, a protective mouth guard is recommended. Studies show that athletes who wear mouthguards have 60% fewer injuries to their teeth.
Athletic mouth guards are custom fitted at our office. It is important that the fit of the mouth guard is comfortable and that it does not interfere with breathing or talking. Commercial mouthguards are less effective and may interfere with speech and/or breathing.
