At Bridgeview Dental, we will take impressions of your teeth and have a mouth guard custom made to fit your teeth. This will give you the very best protection. Sports mouthguards are plastic devices worn over your teeth that protect them from blows to the face or head. Mouthguards are an important piece of athletic equipment for anyone participating in a sport that involves falls, body contact or flying equipment. This includes football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, skateboarding, gymnastics and mountian biking. Any activity that might result in an injury to the mouth. Mouthguards typically cover the upper teeth and are designed to protect against broken teeth, cut lips and other damage to your mouth.
