Here’s an important reminder from the team at Roy Dental Care in Roy UT: when you play sports, protect your teeth with a mouthguard.
Anyone who plays sports risks an injury to the mouth and teeth. It doesn’t matter if you are a professional athlete, high school player, or a 5-year-old playing youth soccer.
Even so-called non-contact sports like basketball can be dangerous. A protective mouthguard is a crucial piece of athletic gear.
What age group has the most injuries?
8- to 12-year-old kids who participate in basketball, football, baseball, and soccer are at the greatest risk. But even sports like skateboarding, mountain biking or climbing can be hazardous.
Mouthguards are made of strong, flexible materials that are designed to protect your teeth, gum and jaw in case of an impact. A mouthguard forms a protective layer between your teeth and points of impact.
At Roy Dental Care in Roy UT, we don’t want anyone taking unnecessary chances. People from Clinton, Layton, and Hooper come to our office for general and restorative dentistry. Call to schedule an appointment today!
