Dr. Mokotoff Answers Questions About Mouthguards
 |
"Dr. Mokotoff, why should I wear a mouthguard?" |
While mouth guards are not mandatory equipment in all sports, their worth is indisputable. Mouthguards cushion blows to the face and neck. A mouthguard should be part of every athlete's gear, no matter the sport. |
Do: At Kids First Dentistry we feel that your child should wear a mouthguard at all times when playing sports. Wear a mouthguard custom-fitted by a dentist, especially if your child wears braces.
Don't: Wear removable appliances like retainers when playing sports.
There are two types of mouthguards:
Custom-made: Designed by a dentist and made on a cast of your child's teeth. These cause very little interference with speaking or breathing. They provide the best protection and fit over braces. They also cost more.
Ready-made: Purchased at most sporting goods stores. They are the least expensive, the least effective, and least comfortable.
Please call our office at (203) 255-6851 if you would like to "play it safe!" and wear a comfortable mouthguard and protect your teeth.
