Sept. '08 Protect Their Smiles

Whether they’re playing football, soccer, Little League baseball or any other contact or collision sport, children should be wearing a mouth guard. Mouth guards protect the mouth, teeth, cheeks and tongue by cushioning blows that cause lost or broken teeth or worse, concussions or jaw fractures.

Custom-Fit Mouth Protectors The best protection for your child’s smile and health is a mouth guard that is custom-fit by a dentist. With its secure protection provided by a custom fit, this mouth guard can protect the teeth against damage, as well as prevent concussions, fractures and other major injuries.

The ‘boil and bite’ type of mouthguards that can be found in stores are not recommended.  Not only can this mouth guard cause burns to the tissue when it’s being fitted, it is not anatomically fit, so the teeth can slide and move upon impact. Even though your child may be wearing this mouth guard, he or she can still sustain an injury.
