Teeth work best when they’re snug in your mouth; but in some situations permanent teeth may become loose or even worse, fall out, because of an injury to the mouth!
Protective gear is vital for anyone engaging in tooth or mouth-threatening activities. With winter on its way out, many children, teens, and even adults will once again pick up the ball, bring the bat out of seasonal retirement, and lace up the cleats to hit the fields for the return of spring sports! Because of all this heightened activity, April is National Facial Protection Month!
At New Image Dentistry, we have a few pointers that will help every active child, parent, weekend warrior, and professional athlete play it safe this spring:
Where can I find a good mouth guard? What is the best brand of mouth guard?
Well, since a mouth guard has to fit your specific mouth, it needs to be custom made.
Does your practice sell mouth guards?
At New Image Dentistry, we custom make mouth guards to fit your mouth.
If I have braces, can I still wear a mouth guard?
Yes, it is even more important to wear mouth guards while wearing braces, since braces can cause a lot more damage to your cheeks if you are involved in an accident.
If you have any more questions about mouth guards, or want to come in and have us custom make you one. Give us a call at New Image Dentistry!
