Do you have a youngster at home that plays youth sports? Soccer, baseball, football, and basketball can be very risky for your child’s teeth. Football is a violent contact sport, yet there is a relatively low rate of tooth injuries that occur in football as compared to other contact sports. Why? Football players are obligated to wear a mouth guard and a helmet.
Advice from a Family Dentist in Charlotte
Take it from your family dentist in Charlotte that inexpensive athletic dental mouth guards are worth their weight in gold! If your child participates in a contact sport and does not currently wear a mouth guard, we recommend that you buy an appropriately-sized mouth guard and make sure they wear it. They are available at most Charlotte athletic supply stores. Some family dentists in Charlotte make custom-made athletic mouth guards that deliver even better protection than the one-size-fits-all models.
