Protecting Your Smile: National Facial Protection Month

Did you know: mouthguards also safeguard soft tissues such as your lips, cheeks, and tongue, offering comprehensive protection for your mouth?

Facial protection is crucial in preventing injuries that can cause pain and affect your smile. Whether you're playing a sport that involves contact with other players or hard surfaces, facial protection is essential.

If you’re looking for some facial protection, sports mouthguards and face masks are two primary options used to safeguard against injuries. Want to learn more? Read on for more information about the options available to you.

When it comes to mouthguards, there are different types to consider. Ready-made mouthguards are available for immediate use. Boil and bite mouthguards can be formed at home for a better fit. For the best protection, custom mouthguards made by your dentist offer a tailored fit.

At our practice, obtaining a mouthguard is straightforward. We provide ready-made mouthguards at no charge for patients with braces or clear aligners. We can also do custom-made mouthguards for a fee of $220. These custom options are fitted and adjusted in our office to ensure maximum protection.

If you’re interested in learning more about mouthguards, please give our office a call and we would be happy to schedule an appointment to review your options.

This April, we are running a fun contest in our office. If you find all the hidden bunnies in our reception area, you could win a prize basket full of spring treats. We hope to see you soon!
