Mouth Guards

Helmets, knee pads, shin guards…if you’re an avid athlete or the parent of one, you know the importance of proper protective gear. But did you know that up to 40 percent of all sports injuries involve the face? Protect your smile and your mouth with a comfortable, custom-molded mouthguard to dramatically reduce the risk of sports-related oral injury.

A mouthguard is an essential piece of athletic gear that fits over your teeth and can help protect your smile as well as your lips, tongue, face, and jaw. At Lake Dental Center, mouthguards are custom made for each patient using the impressions of their teeth. This ensures superior comfort and protection compared to mouthguards purchased from a store.

The American Dental Association and the Academy of Sports Dentistry recommend mouthguards for athletes who participate in:

• Acrobatics
• Bandi
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Bicycling
• Boxing
• Equestrian Events
• Field Events
