Custom Dental Mouthguards

An Effective Preventive Measure Against Tooth Loss

Each year, approximately 5 million teeth are knocked out due to sports injuries or trauma to the mouth. Custom-made mouthguards are an effective solution to the problem. They fit properly and provide maximum protection. The mouthguards sold in stores often hinder adequate breathing during exertion, and do not protect as well as needed. The American Dental Association recommends the use of custom mouthguards for these sports:

Acrobatics, basketball, boxing, field hockey, football, gymnastics, handball, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, racquetball, roller hockey, rugby, shotputting, skateboarding, skiing, skydiving, soccer, squash, surfing, volleyball, water polo, weight lifting, wrestling.
