Athletic Mouthguards and Mouthwear
Traditional Athletic Mouthguards
Did you know that, according to the American Dental Association, an athlete is 60 times more likely to have a tooth injury when not wearing a protective mouthguard? Mouthguards are common in contact sports, such as football, basketball or hockey, but here at Wood Creek Dental, we often see more dental trauma cases from sports like baseball, snow-skiing and cheerleading! A mouthguard is designed to help buffer the mouth and teeth and can be custom-designed to offer superior protection. Since studies have linked almost a third of dental injuries to sports-related activities, a mouthguard is an important piece of sports gear that should be chosen carefully and is a wise investment in the future of your child’s smile.
