Physical fitness is good for your body, and it’s good for your teeth.
Studies confirm that staying active and exercising regularly helps lower your risk of developing gum disease by 54%. Even occasional exercise can reduce your risk by 33%.
Don’t Lose a Tooth!
Every year over 3 million teeth get knocked out playing recreational and sports activities. Any activity that involves a ball, or a bat can cause a dental injury. As can the blunt force from an elbow or a foot. And don’t forget about recreational activities that involve motion, like mountain biking, inline skating, skateboarding, even horseback riding.
In fact, the American Dental Association now lists over 30 sports and recreational activities that participants should consider wearing a sports mouth guard to protect their teeth.
Whether you’re a middle aged weekend warrior playing a little pick-up basketball or a young extreme stunts prodigy, anyone who is out there staying active and playing can benefit from the additional protection of a custom made sports mouthguard.
Custom Sports Mouth Guards Rule!
Unlike the boil and bite mouthguards you can buy at the store, our custom sports mouth guards are designed to conform to each patient’s unique teeth and jawline. They feel good, and won’t interfere with your game. And they look good too, with several different color choices.
Compared to the price of replacing a tooth that gets damaged or knocked out, a custom fitted sports mouth guard is an inexpensive way to protect teeth while you play. And losing a tooth isn’t good for your longevity either. The more teeth you have, the more likely you are to live longer.
