Before going out on the field to play a contact sport, it is important to remember that teeth are also at risk of injury- and they do not grow back!
Even when helmets are part of the required equipment, a collision or accident can still result in a damaged or knocked out tooth.
As a family dentist serving in Cockeysville, Sparks, Phoenix and the Hunt Valley area, we know many patients with children participating in sports and offer Under Armour Performance Mouthwear to protect growing smiles and give parents peace of mind.
Why Choose Custom Sports Mouth Guards?
With so many over the counter and convenient options available, why choose a custom fit mouth guard? This is a common question and your dentist at Valley Dental Health understands your hesitation when offered this product during a routine dental visit with us. However, a custom fit mouth guard does offer some important benefits for both children AND adults who consistently use them during play:
Secure, comfortable fit: a custom mouth guard is made specifically for you and will fit snugly and comfortably on your teeth
No need to bite down to keep in place, reducing the energy used while playing sports and sometimes allowing for improved performance on the field
Made to protect any dental appliances or orthodontia to protect your investment in your dental health.
Untitled-fixedA custom fit mouth guard may encourage a young athlete to be more consistent with wearing this type of protection because it is comfortable. It is also less likely to be popped out of the mouth during contact play or an on field collision.
The process is quick and painless: Dr. Rafat or Dr. Izadi will take impressions of you teeth and order your Under Armour custom mouthguard, which can even be color customized!
