Whether a child or adult, sport related injuries to the mouth and jaw are some of the most common injuries suffered by athletes.
Regardless of the degree of contact that your particular sport includes, it is recommended by the American and Canadian Dental Associations that you wear a mouth guard. It has been shown that sport mouth guards not only protect the teeth and jaw, but act as a cushion for your jaw to possibly help prevent the severity of concussions.
We only recommend the custom fitted mouth guards done in dental offices because of both comfort and custom fitted protection. Depending on the sport you play in, there can be different levels of thickness required for optimum protection.
