Playing on a sports team is a staple of any childhood, from playing minor league baseball to playing college football. Regardless of the sport, players will benefit from wearing the proper protection, such as shin guards, shoulder pads, helmets, cleats, and mouth guards. While most sports go over the necessary gear that the child will need to wear to each game, they may not require mouthguards. With that in mind, mouthguards can be the deciding factor that saves a child’s teeth.
While many parents will invest in a store-bought mouthguard, they may not realize the risk. With store-bought mouth guards, the mouth guard will not be a perfect fit for the child’s teeth. Due to the improper fit, a child will face a greater risk of damaging his or her teeth during the sport or game. A professional mouthguard will be a perfect fit for the child’s teeth and will not run the risk of falling out during the game.
Several reasons why a professional will be much better than a store-bought brand over the counter include:
The process for mouth guard is harmless and does not normally take more than two appointments. During the first appointment, we will take a mold of the child’s mouth and images as well. Next, we will send the measurements and mold to a dental lab where they will custom-make the mouth guard. The child will return to our office once the mouthguardard is complete. We will see if the mouth guard fits and make any necessary adjustments. After the appointment, the child will have the necessary protection to help keep his or her teeth safe during physical activities.
