"Dr. Hake, why should you wear a mouthguard?" |
| While mouthguards are not mandatory equipment in all sports, their worth is indisputable. Mouthguards cushion blows to the face and neck. A mouthguard should be part of every athlete's gear, no matter the sport. Even adults or weekend athletes need to protect their smile and preserve their health. |
Do: At Lake Country Dental we feel that you should wear a mouthguard at all times when playing sports. Wear a mouthguard custom-fitted by a pedodontist, especially if you wear bridges or braces.
Don't: Wear removable appliances like retainers when playing sports.
There are two types of mouthguards:
Custom-made: Designed by a pedodontist and made on a cast of your teeth. These cause very little interference with speaking or breathing. They provide the best protection and fit over braces and fixed bridges. They also cost more.
Ready-made: Purchased at most sporting goods stores. They are the least expensive, the least effective, and least comfortable.
Please call our office at (817) 236-8771 if you would like to "play it safe!" and wear a comfortable mouthguard and protect your teeth.
