Overview

Athletic Mouthguards

Sports fans and players know that their favorite pursuits come with risks; players end up on the sidelines and retiring through a range of injuries, and for many others there is a concern that the impacts their bodies have sustained will lead to them requiring assistance in later life. People often underestimate the impact on the mouth, but falls, collisions, and high-speed projectiles can cause significant damage over time. So we offer custom athletic mouthguards in Dallas.

What are Athletic Mouthguards?

In many of the most high-impact sports, then, it is little surprise to learn that from school teams to the top level of the pro leagues there is a need for athletic mouthguards in Dallas. Manufacturers design these protective items from a pliable compound material to sit around the teeth and gums, absorbing the worst of any impact on the mouth. Football players, boxers and even jockeys are among the sports players that need mouthguards – and as we will see, the devices play a very important part in safely playing a range of sports.

When an Injury Strikes

Of all the facial injuries that take place in amateur sports, the most common are dental injuries, and in many of the cases where such an injury takes place, the injured party is not wearing a mouthguard. In a sport like football, where tackling involves two bodies crashing together, the chance for head collisions is obvious. When you play lacrosse, sticks and balls swish through the air at head height, creating a constant risk of mouth injuries. In boxing, the risks are obvious and need no further explanation.

Benefits of Athletic Mouthguards in Dallas

By wearing athletic mouthguards, amateur and professional sports players alike can be ready for the worst when it comes to facial impact. A blow to the mouth is always unpleasant, and when a projectile strikes with only your lips shielding your teeth, it greatly increases the risk of dental disasters. Athletic mouthguards in Dallas cushion the impact, spread it away from your teeth, and allow you to play sports without the same risk level.

Over-the-Counter vs. Custom

Sporting goods stores sell off-the-shelf mouth protectors, but dentists advise against using them. Poor fit can hinder breathing and even worsen injuries. At best they provide token protection. Boil-and-bite mouthguards, which are softened in boiling water and then shaped around the teeth, are better but not ideal. Visiting Moseley Dental Group, your local Dallas, Texas dentist, to have a custom mouthguard made is likely to be your best option. Dr. Moseley takes an impression of your teeth, creates a model, and sends it to a lab, where specialists construct athletic mouthguards from custom-designed materials.

Professional

Alexa was my dental hygienist. She noted that I had severe stains on my teeth due to coffee and red wine. She thoroughly and professionally cleaned my teeth. And as if by magic , she was able to polish away the stains. And Dr. Moseley gave my teeth a thorough exam. All in all, an excellent and worthwhile visit to Preston Commons Dental Care, which I highly recommend.

Excellent

Great experience from start to finish. Heather was so helpful in getting our family set up as new patients and scheduling appointments. Bridget, the dental hygienist, was friendly, efficient and did a great job cleaning my teeth. Lastly, Dr. McGhee has an excellent bedside manner, is so smart and explains issues in laymen’s terms. Highly recommend this practice.
