A properly fitted mouth guard is one of the best ways to
prevent sports-related dental injuries for young athletes.
Mouth guards lower the risk of dental injuries including
losing a tooth or cracking a crown. By providing cushioning
and protection, it absorbs shock during impact, protecting
the teeth and jaw.
Although, mouth guards may not always protect against
soft tissue injuries, such as a split lip. Still, protecting the
teeth can minimize the impact of injuries. Research has
also shown that wearing mouth guards may reduce the
risk of concussion.
Park Dental can help teach about the importance of mouth
guards and provide custom-fitted protection to ensure maxi-
mum safety of your child's teeth.
For a custom mouth guard, call or request an appointment
at parkdental.com.
