We can provide sports guards for athletes.
Wearing proper protective gear is extremely important while playing contact, high-velocity, or collision sports. Athletes wear helmets, chest protection, knee pads, etc., but some still overlook the importance of mouthguards, putting them at risk of dental trauma. If you are an athlete who participates in a sport like hockey, soccer, football, rugby, boxing, baseball, softball, martial arts, gymnastics, or lacrosse, now is a good time to think about getting a sports guard to protect your teeth, jaw, and soft tissues.
Sports guards are designed to absorb shock from blows to the head or face, minimizing the risk of injuries such as broken or chipped teeth, jaw fractures, and cuts to the lips, tongue, and cheeks. They can also help a little to reduce the risk of concussions. These guards can be worn by athletes of all ages, but it’s important for sports guards to be customized to each person to ensure superior comfort and performance.
An ill-fitting mouthguard can cause a variety of issues, like poor protection, discomfort, distraction while playing, and even increased risk of injury if the guard will not stay in place. Instead of taking your chances with a pre-made or “boil-and-bite” sports guard, visit our dental office for a superior protective device.
At Dentistry by the Lake, we are proud to serve patients in and around Toronto, Ontario who need dental guards for various purposes. Whether we are providing night guards, snore guards, or sports guards, we ensure each device is properly tailored to the patient’s needs. An impression of your teeth will be taken to create a dental model or digital scan, and that model will be used to fabricate a sports guard that is perfectly customized for your mouth. Once it’s made, we will make any other necessary adjustments to it before you wear the guard during practice and games. Rest assured, the sports guards we offer are made from quality, durable materials that stand the test of time and effectively absorb shock.
Properly fitting sports guards can make a huge difference for athletes and prevent them from suffering from severe injuries. We highly encourage you to inquire about getting a sports guard if you are an athlete or getting them for your children who play sports.
Visit our dental office for your sports guards or other dental guards you may require. We have been in this business for over 20 years, and as a local office, we are dedicated to the people of Toronto.
