Living life to the fullest means getting out and participating in activities that provide you the thrill in life you’re looking for. Yet, sometimes these activities, while good for your physical and mental health, aren’t so great for your dental health. These activities could put you at risk for dental damage and Cormier Family Dentistry wants to see your smile last a lifetime. With regularly scheduled cleanings and preventative care like custom mouth guards, you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come.

Why are custom mouth guards important?

From professionals to amateurs, you’ll find athletes wearing mouth guards to protect their teeth from undue harm, particularly if they’ve experienced extensive dental work in the past. While some may turn to low priced boil-and-bite type mouth guards, these generic mouthpieces vary in quality and often offer inferior protection. Their bulk and design may even impede performance and the ability to breathe properly.

Alternatively, the trusted dental specialists at Cormier Family Dentistry create custom protective mouth guards specifically for your mouth. Dr. Adam Cormier and Dr. Jana Cormier offer high-grade mouth guards made of thin and durable plastic that is shaped snuggly to your teeth. These high end mouth guards allow patients to enjoy their favorite activities without fear of dental damage.

What type of activities benefit from custom mouth guards?

Physical activity is great for your health, but certain activities can put your dental health at risk. Activities that involve contact or put the body into compromising positions could cause undue harm to your teeth, resulting in costly and time-consuming repairs such as dental implants or bridges. Activities that would greatly benefit from a custom created mouth guard would include mixed martial arts, boxing, wrestling, karate, Brazilian jiu jitsu, baseball, basketball, football, soccer, roller hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse to name a few.

How are custom mouth guards created?

Your protective mouth guard is molded from an extremely durable yet thin material that provides the utmost protection without impeding your breathing or general function.
