Protecting your teeth is just as important as protecting the rest of your body during sports and physical activities. Mouth guards play a vital role in preventing dental injuries, reducing the risk of tooth fractures, jaw damage, and concussions. At Brookside Family Dentistry, we offer custom-fitted mouth guards designed to provide superior comfort, protection, and durability.
Why Are Mouth Guards Important?
Mouth guards are essential for athletes of all ages who participate in contact and non-contact sports. They help:
- Prevent tooth fractures and loss caused by impact
- Protect the jaw from structural damage
- Reduce the risk of soft tissue injuries (cuts on lips, cheeks, and tongue)
- Lower the risk of concussions by absorbing shock from blows to the jaw
The American Dental Association (ADA) and sports medicine professionals recommend mouth guards for athletes in a variety of sports to minimize the risk of serious dental trauma.
