If your child plays contact sports, you may worry about how to keep them safe without getting in the way of their fun activities. Your Riverside, CA, dental team offers custom protective gear that can prevent injuries to their teeth, tongue, and lips, so they can spend more time on the field and less time at the dentist for emergencies. In today’s blog, we’ll discuss the benefits of this preventive mouthpiece.
Athletes Of All Levels Can Benefit From This
Regardless of your skill level, you should wear protective gear to keep your teeth, tongue, and lips safe. While you can purchase a generic guard, these do not fit your smile precisely and cannot offer you personalized protection. Instead of buying these generic options in the store, you can ask your dentist about having a custom one made for you.
When you come in for your visit, your dentist will take an impression of your oral cavity to create the pro-form mouthguard. You can choose from a variety of colors to match your team or choose your favorite color to express yourself. Once it’s ready, it will be checked to ensure it fits properly. All you have to do is remember to wear it during practices and at games.
Reduce The Need For Urgent Dental Visits
We usually don’t think about the many injuries that can happen when playing sports. However, the risk is always there, even when we aren’t reminded of it. When you play contact games, like football, hockey, or soccer, you risk bumping into others and potentially biting on your tongue or bumping a tooth. These accidents can lead to an emergency trip to the dentist if you are not properly protected.
Mouthguards can keep your smile safe from minor and severe injuries. Wearing one of these while playing your favorite game can also help keep your orthodontic appliances safe, protect your jaw from injury, and may even protect you from a concussion. If you do find yourself in a smile-related emergency, our team is here to help you through it. We offer urgent visits that can help repair an injured tooth or other accidents.
