Keeping them in the Game with Athletic Mouthguards

Anyone who participates in any contact sport benefits from a custom athletic mouthguard. All athletic guards are not created equal. A custom guard made by your dentist fits better, is more comfortable during play, and if done in the neuromuscular position, can increase performance by maximizing your airway and relieving unnecessary tension from your jaw and neck muscles so you can focus solely on the game!

Why is a sports guard important?

Injuries to the face and mouth while taking part in a sport without a guard often occur, and result in the following:

• Chipped or broken teeth

• Damage to previous dental treatment

• Injuries to lips and cheeks

• Injuries to the tongue

• Jaw or facial bone fractures

Don’t let the game you love lead to a loss of a tooth and an emergency visit to the dentist! Protect yourself by getting prepared to play before the game.

Why choose our sports guards?

You can find a wide assortment of “semi-custom” mouthguards in sporting goods stores, etc. Though readily available, these guards are not on the same level of a guard made from custom-impressions of your mouth by a dental professional and are certainly not fabricated in your ideal athletic neuromuscular position.

 All parents want to make sure their children are protected. If your child is an athlete, it’s a great idea to invest in a custom athletic mouthguard from Advanced Dentistry of Amarillo. Contact us before the season starts to book an appointment.
