Now is the most popular time for patients to have mouthguards made. S4S Dental Laboratory explains the benefits of offering mouthguards to patients.
The new school term is only a matter of weeks away. Now is the time that most parents and sports teams will be looking for mouthguards for their children or players.
Essential for contact sports, a custom-made guard should be the only option for patients for optimum protection.
According to the British Orthodontic Society, 13-39% of all dental injuries are sports related. Approximately 25% of children in the UK will injure or lose a front tooth at some stage.
If your patient participates in any contact sport, it is essential that you offer them the opportunity to wear an appliance designed to withstand impact and protect their dentition. Without a guard, the teeth can come together with such force that they can be broken – also posing a risk to the jaw.
A custom-made mouthguard made to your patient’s exact specification, is the perfect way to ensure the safety of their smile. Mouthguards can be purchased from many places, including dental laboratories.
