Sports-related dental injuries send about 600,000 youths to the emergency room each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Mouth guards are an inexpensive, yet effective way to prevent dental disasters. By functioning as a shock absorber, it is estimated that mouth guards avert 200,000 oral injuries each year and can cut the risk of concussion by 50 percent. Oral injuries can include fractured teeth, neck injuries and even abrasions from braces.
Aside from causing a child undue trauma, treatment procedures can also be extremely expensive for parents. The National Youth Sports Foundation for Safety estimates the total cost of replacing a tooth lost in a sports injury can range from $5,000 to upward of $20,000 over a lifetime.
We offer an inexpensive yet effective solution to help prevent sport injuries.  Custom made mouth guards are specially made for each and every patient's specifications.
