SPORTS GUARD

Sports guards are responsible for preventing over 200,000 oral injuries in the United States annually. These oral traumas will happen to children, high school and college level athletes. In fact, dental injuries are the most common type of orofacial injury sustained during participation in sports.

Obviously dental injuries could also be significantly reduced if children, teenagers and adults involved in sports wore custom fabricated mouth guards. These custom-made mouth guards are made by the professional dental office.

According to the American Dental Association, the lifetime dental costs can approach several thousand dollars per tooth (or teeth) in a sporting injury. The total rehabilitation costs for a single knocked-out tooth are more than 20 times the preventative cost for a custom laminated, professional grade mouth guard.
