Mouthguards
 |
"Dr. Dougherty, why should I wear a mouthguard?" |
| While mouthguards are not
mandatory equipment in all sports, their worth is indisputable.
Mouthguards cushion blows to the face and neck. A mouthguard should
be part of every athlete's gear, no matter the sport. Even adults or
weekend athletes need to protect their smile and preserve their
health. There are two types of mouthguards: Custom-made: Designed by a dentist and made on a cast of your teeth. These cause very little interference with speaking or breathing. They provide the best protection and fit over braces and fixed bridges. They also cost more. Ready-made: Purchased at most sporting goods stores. They are the least expensive, the least effective, and least comfortable. Do not confuse this type of guard as an appliance for TMJ disorder. Please call our office if you would like to "play it safe!" and wear a comfortable mouthguard and protect your teeth. |
