Mouthguards – Use them

Mouthguards – Help protect your teeth!

Fall sports seasons are gearing up as August means back to school. Wearing a mouthguard, especially one custom-made to the athlete’s teeth, provides protection against major trauma to the teeth and surrounding bone by distributing the forces more evenly. When athletes have braces on their teeth, over-the-counter mouthguards can greatly reduce risk of trauma to teeth that are moving.

Besides protecting teeth, mouthguards have been shown to reduce risk of sports-related concussions. A study published in 2020 suggested that mouthguard use reduces the incidence of concussions in athletes when they are being worn consistently.

Whether your athlete elects to use an over-the-counter mouthguard or have our office custom make one, please stress the importance of wearing it.
