Sports Mouth Guards From the Dentist?

And if you have children, we also encourage you to choose dentist-made mouth guards for your children. No two mouths are shaped exactly a like. That’s why all the mouth guards created at Plymouth Station Dental are designed directly from dental impressions we take of your child’s very own mouth structure. Over-the-counter, boil-and-bite mouth guards can never fit as securely or protect as thoroughly as custom-made mouth guards!

People – especially kids – suffer thousands of injuries each year participating in sports, biking, skateboarding or during other activities.

In fact, Edmond Hewlett, D.D.S., an ADA consumer advisor and associate professor at UCLA’s School of Dentistry, says “Injuries to the face from participating in a sport or other recreational activity can harm your child’s teeth, lips, cheeks and tongue, but a properly fitted mouth guard can help protect your child’s smile.”

Our custom-made mouth guards cushion blows that might cause injuries to the lips, tongue, face or jaw and, in the worst case, broken teeth. Even more importantly, they might also reduce the severity and incidence of concussions.
