Custom-fitted Mouthguards
Mouth guards can protect your teeth from excessive wear or trauma. A mouthguard is also recommended to protect precious restorative dental work such as crowns, implants, and veneers. Protecting your smile while playing sports is essential. Not only does it protect your teeth from injury, it can also minimize serious brain concussion during an impact to the jaw. The American Dental Association recommends that you wear a mouthguard during contact or high-speed sports. Choosing the right mouthguard is essential since there are many different types of mouthguards on the market.
Store-bought mouth guards can be detrimental and cause more problems than they prevent. They can strain your jaw joint and shift your teeth. Dr. Deegan will make a custom-fitted mouthguard for your ultimate protection and comfort.
