Mouth guards are an essential piece of equipment in contact sports. Dr. Doster recommends mouthguards for athletes of all ages who participate in sports such as:
- Football
- Hockey
- Lacrosse
- Wrestling
- Basketball
- Baseball/Softball
- Soccer
- …any sport where contact is a possibility.
Wearing a mouth guard helps prevent against structural damage to your teeth and jaw and also helps prevent injuries such as lacerations to your cheeks, tongue, and lips. Mouth guards have also been shown to help decrease the risk of concussions.
The thinness and precise fit of a custom mouth guard allows for easy breathing and also allows for easy communication while providing optimal protection.
