If you or a family member plays sports, or enjoy other activities that risk damage to the teeth, then you need to take preventive actions. With a custom Pro-Form athletic mouthguard, we can offer this protection for kids and adults alike! In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about helping smiles in 2026 and beyond with custom mouthguards.
The Risks of Damaged Teeth
When we play full contact sports, there is always the risk of a damaged tooth. If an injury happens, then you should see us right away. Even if the injury is a minor chip or crack, this could increase the risk of tooth decay and dental infection, leading to painful symptoms and the eventual risk of tooth loss. With emergency dentistry, our team can treat injuries and prevent complications. But we would also love to help you and you family avoid the injuries altogether.
The Difference Our Pro-Form Mouthguards Make
You can buy a store-bought mouthguard, a boil-and-bite option, to protect your teeth. While these are effective, they don’t offer the same level of protection as a custom one. Our Pro-Form mouthguards are custom-made for your smile, fitting comfortably and providing a greater level of protection. Each one is made from two different laminated vinyl layers, and includes a lingual plate behind the incisors. This means the appliance can better distribute pressure to protect the teeth from injury, and that the appliance can also hold its shape much longer than a store-bought option!
In addition to protecting teeth from cracks and chips, this can limit the risk of one being knocked loose or out, and can prevent cuts and injuries to the gums and cheeks. A custom mouthguard also limits the risk of fractured jawbones and even concussions, while protecting your teen’s orthodontics too! Kids also enjoy the fact that they can be customized to their favorite colors.
Emergency Dentistry
If you do end up with a damaged tooth, then let us know right away. If you reach us during our normal business hours, we may be able to see you same day. If not, leave a message and we will reach out soon with possible appointment times!
