When you play sports or engage in other activities that will damage the teeth, you need to take precautions. Which is why our team offers custom mouthguards for kids, teens, and adults! In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how our custom mouthguards protect smiles.
The Pro-Form Mouthguard
While you can easily visit a sporting goods store and purchase a boil-and-bite mouthguard, we can provide a more customized version that provides a greater level of protection for your smile. Our Pro-form mouthguards are custom-made for your smile and crafted from two distinct layers of laminated vinyl. We then add a lingual plate that fits right behind your incisors. This design is meant to help distribute the pressure on your bite to help prevent damage to your teeth and an injury occurs. The device is also durable and can hold its shape far longer than traditional store-bought options.
The Pro-form guard can help prevent teeth from being cracked, chipped, or knocked loose or out, and limit the chances of injuries to your gums or cheeks. They can lower the overall risk of injuries to your jaw, or the threat of concussions. Kids can also choose their favorite colors!
When Smiles Need Protection
We urge kids, teens, and adults to wear a custom one when they play sports of any kind, as injuries can happen whether you are on the field or the court. The same goes for martial arts, boxing, or other activities that risk injuries to the face or teeth. You can talk to us to see if you or your child benefit from an oral appliance for their hobbies or sports activities.
Tips for Keeping Smiles Strong
If you practice good oral hygiene, you can also limit the risk of injury, as preventing tooth decay and infection helps keep teeth strong and more resistant to injury. You and your family should brush and floss daily, avoid too much sugar in your diets, and let us know if you grind your teeth or experience pain in the jaw or teeth. If you have any questions about how we safeguard your smile with a custom mouthguard, then contact our team today to learn more and get started!
