Athletic Mouthguards
Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. But did you know that almost 40% of all athletic injuries involve the face? Drs. Schutte and McKnight preserve smiles with custom-fitted mouthguards that protect against sports-related oral injury.
A mouthguard is a customized oral tray made of easy-to-clean acrylic. It covers teeth to defend your smile, lips, tongue, face, and jaw. Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth to ensure optimal fit and comfort. The ADA recommends mouthguards for a variety of activities, including running, tennis, cycling, and skiing. Your smile is important. A mouthguard can keep it strong, healthy, and intact!
