It's that most wonderful time of year again - sports season!




 Did you know that nearly one-third of all dental injuries are sports-related? And all too often it results in losing a tooth. Once you are missing one tooth, it is more likely that you will almost immediately lose another tooth. While missing one or two teeth may not see a big deal, other teeth may shift into the position of the missing tooth. As your teeth begin to shift it can cause problems for your jaw and bite, eventually resulting in a change in your facial structure. Once this occurs, you may be impacted by pain or jaw problems that make it difficult for you to consume the foods you love.

Mouthguards may seem like an unnecessary problem, it is well worth it to keep your smile intact. Store mouthguards may seem like an easier and less expensive of an option, but unfortunately store bought mouthguards, can create a problem for your smile. Custom made mouthguards are the perfect fit every time. You do not have to worry about it falling out, choking you or exposing your teeth because of an incorrect fit.
