Sport is a national pastime; it’s a hobby, a way of life and a good way to stay fit. However, the popularity of organized sports and the high level of competitiveness have resulted in a significant number of dental and facial injuries. To reduce the risk of concussion, as well as take care of your oral health, custom made mouth guards are the ideal solution. They allow you to continue playing the sports you enjoy while feeling fairly confident your teeth are protected.
So if you play sports, or are about to start, getting a custom made mouth guard can help keep you safe out on the field.
Overview
At ARID, we produce customized mouth guards for sports people of all ages, and we highly recommend you wear one if you’re participating in any organized sports to prevent damage to your teeth, jaw, and soft tissues including your lips, tongue, and the inner lining of your cheeks. Teeth which have been damaged or knocked out, broken jaws, and cut lips are all considered to be sport-related dental injuries and should be attended to immediately. The consequences of orofacial trauma can have a long-term negative impact on growth and development as well as substantial aesthetic and psychological effects. To put it simply, a custom-made mouth guard is much cheaper than suffering from a sports-related dental injury.
Candidates
Having your own custom-made mouth guard ensures the safety of your teeth during sports, and because they’re custom-made to suit your mouth, they’re more comfortable than over the counter options. Additionally, you can bring your custom-made mouth guard in to have it checked for wear and tear.
We recommend our patients of all ages wear a properly fitted mouth guard in any sporting or recreational activity which may pose a risk of injury. While we believe custom mouth guards are the most protective option, other over-the-counter mouth guards can be effective if they fit well, are worn properly and stay in place.
