Sports Guards

Sports guards are a simple and effective way to protect yourself or your child from serious injuries. Contact sports are one of the leading causes of oral injuries in both children and adults. Impacts to the head can cause concussion, teeth avulsion, broken teeth, jaw misalignment, and other problems that can leave lasting damage.

What Does It Do?

Mouth guards and other oral devices hold your jaw in place while playing sports. This minimizes the impact taken from heavy blows, helping to keep teeth in place, the jaw secure, and preventing the transfer of motion to the brain to minimize or prevent concussions.

Strong impacts to the mouth can damage the roots of teeth. Because teeth cannot heal themselves, it is a guarantee that the tooth will be lost at some point in the future, if not immediately. The only way to avoid this danger is to wear a protective device. Much like a helmet protects the head from all kinds of injury, a mouthguard protects against oral injuries.
