In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about how we safeguard smiles with a custom Pro-Form athletic mouthguard.

The Risks of Damaged Teeth

When kids and adults alike play sports, or practice martial arts and boxing, there is always a risk of damage to their smiles. There could be cracked, chipped, or even knocked-out teeth. They could be knocked loose, and injuries to the jawbone and facial structure could occur. Kids with orthodontics could see damaged braces and aligners too. But with an athletic mouthguard, the risk of injury is minimized. While you can purchase a boil-and-bite option from any sporting goods store, we want to offer better protection with a custom approach using our Pro-Form Athletic Mouthguard.

The Pro-Form Benefits

Each Pro-Form option is custom-made for your smile specifically. They are crafted from two distinct layers of laminated vinyl, a very durable material, and includes a lingual plate that sits behind the front teeth. The overall design is meant to help better distribute pressure from injuries, so even if an injury occurs, the risk of real damage to the teeth is prevented or minimized. The process also ensures they can last far longer, often a year in some cases. Kids can choose their favorite colors too!

Creating Your Custom Mouthguard

Each one will be designed and crafted based on detailed digital images we take of your smile with advanced imaging systems, such as intraoral cameras. The finished product can help prevent chips, cracks, and knocked-out teeth, and reduces the overall risk of jaw fracture, concussion, and cuts to the gums and cheeks. This is also helpful for kids with orthodontics, such as braces. If you have any questions about how we safeguard smiles of all ages against dental emergencies with our custom athletic mouthguards, then contact our team today to learn more and get started on receiving one! Now that school is starting, many kids will be joining sports teams, which means you should talk to us soon.
