One Hit Without a Mouthguard Can Mean Costly Dental Repairs
We know many people avoid wearing mouthguards because they’re uncomfortable. Some store-bought options can feel bulky, get in the way of speech, or make breathing more difficult. However, our sports mouthguards at Forney Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, are custom-designed differently. Because they are made specifically for the individual, they fit better and are much more comfortable to wear.
Are you or is someone you love involved in sports? Do you always wear a mouthguard? If not, consider these interesting facts:
- Up to 40% of dental injuries occur during sports activities. These injuries can range from chipped teeth to more serious damage involving the gums, jaw, or surrounding tissues.
- The cost of a custom mouthguard is a small fraction of the cost of repairing or replacing damaged teeth.
- Not wearing a dental guard makes you 60 times more likely to sustain an injury to the face and mouth.
