School is back in session and that means football season is here, too. Whether your child is a football player for their school’s team, or you play sports yourself, it’s important that you take preventive measures against injuries during practices and games. Your team at Riverside Dental Group in CA offers pro-form mouthguards that fit precisely and offer protection from concussions, injuries, broken teeth, and more. These can be used for players involved in football, soccer, hockey, and many other sports.
Who Should Get Protective Gear?
Athletes involved in contact or non-contact sports should wear protective gear like mouthguards. This preventive measure can help them avoid injuries like concussions, jaw injuries, fractured teeth, and much more. Whether your child plays football or practices gymnastics, wearing this appliance can protect them from serious injuries. If your little one is currently going through orthodontic treatment, this type of gear can also protect their braces from getting damaged. While you can purchase generic guards at the store, a custom one can fit your child’s smile precisely and may offer better protection.
Creating Your Custom Guard
Receiving your protective gear is a simple process. First, you’ll need to come in for a dental checkup to have your oral cavity examined. Your dentist will take impressions to send to a lab where the custom guard is created. We can customize the appliance to be your favorite color or match your team colors. When it’s ready, the dentist will check that it fits correctly and may make some slight adjustments. You can wear this during practices and at games to keep your smile safe and healthy.
Others Way To Protect Your Smile
Along with protecting their pearly whites from injuries, remember to also practice a good oral hygiene routine to avoid cavities. You should brush and floss at least twice a day to get rid of bacteria that can accumulate throughout the day. In addition to this at home routine, you should also bring your family in for a dental checkup twice a year. This visit includes a cleaning and examination to clean their teeth and look for any changes in their oral health. If any concerns are noticed, your dentist can adjust your treatment plan for any restorations and additional treatments.
