Protect Your Mouth and Your Teeth During Sports

Lacrosse is becoming more and more popular in the Vancouver, WA area. If your child plays, protect his or her teeth.

As the season changes from winter to spring, spring sports make their entrance. We want to encourage mouth-guards to be worn during all sports, all year round. This is especially important in children.

The bone that surrounds teeth in children is softer than the bone in adults, making these younger patients more susceptible to losing teeth during a traumatic impact.

If you have braces, you should be wearing a mouth guard for more than just the mandatory sports of football and hockey.

A form-fitting mouth-guard, made either by a dental professional or an over the counter mouth-guard from a sporting goods store are both effective in protecting teeth. Used them for karate, baseball, or any other sport which could result in trauma to the mouth.
