The American Dental Association is urging parents to protect their children’s teeth from sports-related dental injuries with the use of properly fitted mouthguards. Dental injuries can occur in all sports, but they are especially common in contact sports. Wearing a properly fitted mouthguard can help protect the mouth and prevent damage to the teeth, lips, tongue and jaw. Mouthguards are designed to help cushion the mouth, teeth and jaw, preventing significant damage. Different sports involve different levels of risk and potential injury, and while mouthguards are not required equipment in some sports, wearing one is an important precaution for athletes of any age and ability. Dr. Szatkowski is a member of the Academy of Sports Dentistry, and makes custom fitted mouthguards in many colors from a cast model of your teeth which will provide the best level of protection for your kids!
