Millions of dental and facial injuries occur each year due to sports-related trauma. Activities involving contact with players, the ground, or objects like balls and bats pose a significant risk to oral health. Wearing a mouthguard is a simple yet effective way to prevent injuries to the teeth, lips, tongue, and jaw. There are three types of sports mouthguards—stock, boil-and-bite, and custom-fitted. While all offer protection, custom mouthguards provide the best fit and comfort. Our office can help you choose the right mouthguard to keep your smile safe during sports.
