Tis the season of outdoor sports once again! It’s a good time to think about the benefits of using a mouth guard before you or your kids venture out on the field.
Here are few reasons why a custom made mouth guard can be indispensable for you and your children-
1) The
mouth guard protects your mouth from your teeth and prevents injury to
the tissues from teeth and prevent bleeding or sores from nicks to your
lips or gums , especially in contact sports.
2) A
custom made mouth guard is made specifically for your teeth by a dental
laboratory using a very durable and biocompatible material unlike a
stock mouth guard available at a sporting goods store. The stock mouth
guard fits somewhat like an oversized shoe, so imagine the difference in
your comfort level and thus your compliance in wearing one!
3) Many schools and leagues require a mouth guard
to ensure the safety of the children. Wearing a mouth guard also
enhances the performance of the children , making them feel more
confident and brave.
4) A mouth guard is more cost
effective and saves money in the long run. It is affordable to use a
mouth guard as a preventive measure rather than experiencing a dental
injury on the field and visiting the emergency room and even worse,
losing your tooth or breaking one of them.
