Mouth guards are an essential piece of equipment for children, adolescents and adults in all sports and activities. Mouth guards from a family dental clinic in Worcester should be worn by any athlete who participates in a sport where contact or a fall is a possibility. Sports such as:
- Football
- Hockey
- Lacrosse
- Wrestling
- Basketball
- Baseball/Softball
- Soccer
- Rugby
- Skating
- Skateboarding
- Gymnastics
Wearing a mouth guard helps prevent against structural damage to your teeth and jaw and also helps prevent injuries such as lacerations to your cheeks, tongue, and lips. Mouth guards have also been shown to help decrease the risk of concussions.
Mouth guards are available in most any sporting goods store, but you should be careful when purchasing a mouth guard. Mouth guards like this do not offer the best level of protection. They can also be ill-fitting and uncomfortable.
For the highest level of comfort and protection, you should consult your family dental clinic in Worcester for a custom mouth guard fitting. A custom mouth guard is created specifically for the protection of your mouth. It is created with thin plastic that is hardened to protect your teeth. The thinness of the custom mouth guard allows for easy breathing and also allows for easy communication (especially important for the star quarterback who is calling out signals).
