Athletic Mouthguards
Did you know that 40% of all sports injuries involve the face? This can include injuries to the tongue, cheeks, lips, and teeth. Sports-related tooth loss can be prevented, though. With a custom-made mouthguard, Dr. Jackson can help you virtually eliminate the risk of tooth loss. One less thing to worry about while you’re playing means you can focus more on bringing your best game!
Unlike over-the-counter mouthguards, dentist-made mouthguards fit comfortably and provide a high degree of protection. Many athletes complain that mouthguards prevent speech and feel bulky or unnatural. A custom mouthguard, made from a model of your mouth, will flex with your jaw and allow you to breathe normally.
Not just for contact sports, mouthguards are recommended for any activity during which the face can be injured. This includes basketball, baseball, gymnastics, cycling, volleyball, wrestling, lacrosse, martial arts, and skateboarding. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Visit us before your smile needs more than just protecting!
Tip: Be sure to thoroughly clean and dry your mouthguard and the container it's kept in. Bacteria thrives in moist, damp places, so brush your mouthguard with toothpaste, wash it with soap and water, or soak it in mouth rinse after each use. Then let it dry completely before storing it.
