Reasons To Consider Getting A Sports Mouth Guard
Being a part of high-impact sports such as basketball, soccer, cricket, and baseball can be thrilling, but these activities also carry the risk of dental injuries. Issues like knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, and bleeding from gums and soft tissues occur frequently during sports. Fortunately, these issues can be prevented with our custom sports mouth guards available at our clinic in Houston, TX.
A sports mouth guard is a special oral appliance that serves as a protective shield for your teeth and gums during athletic activities. It absorbs high-impact shocks, preventing the risk of dental injuries. Unlike ready-made mouthguards, our custom appliances are more comfortable to wear and offer optimal protection.
