A custom-fit mouthguard is a necessity for a child who plays sports

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, research indicates that 80% of trips to the emergency room, related to sports injuries, are for children between the ages of 5 and 14. Your child does not need to contribute to this misfortune. This statistic can be drastically reduced, in your family, by properly worn mouthguards, along with other safety equipment while sports are being played.

Soft plastic mouthguards can be used to protect a child’s teeth, lips, cheeks and gums from sport related injuries. A custom-fitted mouthguard will protect your child from these injuries and even provide protection from severe injuries to the head. If you have a child playing a sport, make an appointment to have Dr. Dunne custom fit a mouthguard for him/her.
