Dental
injuries
are the most common type of orofacial injury sustained
during participation in sports. We offer Playsafe®
custom fabricated mouth guards for patients interested
in oral protection during their sports activities.
According
to the American Dental Association, more than
200,000 oral injuries are prevented annually
in this country by sports mouth guards.
Comparing
dentist fabricated mouthguards with stock or boil
and bite type mouthguards, reveals significant
differences. Boil and bite type guards do not
fit as accurately as custom guards so they are
often uncomfortable and frequently interfere with
an athletes breathing and speaking ability.
