Mouthguards

Along with regular fluoride and other preventive, in-office general dentistry, We offer the simple and effective protection of custom-made dental mouthguards.

Sports Mouthguards

Are you or your kids involved in sports or other physical activities? Active individuals can be prone to oral injuries. Even water sports are culprits! That’s why, along with the American Dental Association, The Dental Suite recommends the consistent use of sports mouthguards during all kinds of activities.

Per the ADA, “Studies have consistently shown reductions in orofacial injuries with the use of mouthguards, particularly custom-fitted mouth guards, in a wide range of active individuals, including water polo players and elite commando fighters. A 2002 prospective study of 70,836 college basketball players found a rate of 0.12 dental injuries per 1,000 exposures in players wearing custom-fitted mouthguards, compared to a rate of 0.67 in players who didn’t wear a mouthguard. In a 2007 meta-analysis of 14 studies…, researchers found an increased risk of orofacial injury of 1.6 – 1.9 times in players who did not use a mouth guard of any type.”
