Summer is a fun time for all ages, but between summer sports and other activities, the risk of a damaged tooth is higher. But we want to help prevent your smile from developing common dental emergencies. In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about preventing dental emergencies over the summer with custom athletic mouthguards and more!
Summertime and Dental Emergencies
When kids play sports, practice martial arts, or box, there is always a risk of damage. Teeth can become cracked or chipped, or even knocked loose or out completely. There could also be injuries to the jaw and facial structures. But with proper protection, kids can enjoy their time on the field or court without risking these injuries. To help prevent dental emergencies during the summertime, consider seeing our team for a custom athletic mouthguard.
Prevention with a Mouthguard
You can buy a mouthguard at any sporting goods store, and while boil-and-bite options help protect smiles, they simply are not as effective as a custom one from our team. Our custom option is made from two district layers of laminated vinyl, with a special lingual plate that fits behind the incisors. This better protects the teeth for injury, and also safeguards the jaw and face, and even limits the risk of concussion. The appliance also lasts far longer than a traditional one, with up to a year of quality protection for your child’s smile.
Handling Damaged Teeth
If a tooth is injured, then contact our team right away! If you reach us during our usual business hours, we will try to see you and your child same-day for treatment. If we are closed, call anyway and leave a message so a team member can reach out to you with possible appointment times. We can offer repair that looks natural and protects the teeth, such as bonding for minor injuries or even custom-made dental crowns.
If you have any questions about preventing dental emergencies during the summer with a custom mouthguard, or about how we repair injured teeth, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help your kids enjoy safe summertime smiles, so talk to us today!
