Avoiding tooth and mouth injuries should be a daily concern for those of us with active children in sports. A few years ago, a dental newsletter published what seemed like an unusual story. A boy snagged his teeth on a basketball net while doing a slam-dunk. After the story appeared, many dentists reported having similar cases themselves. With a mouth guard, we can help protect our children.

Wearing a mouth guard is one of the best ways to prevent a sudden trip to the dentist. A custom-fit mouth guard from your dentist is one that is highly recommended. This type of mouth guard will fit better than a ready-made one (found in sporting-goods stores). That means it will protect your teeth better. Call today so we can get your child set up for protection and safeguard them in their busy activities and sporting events.
