Many teeth can be lost or
broken while playing in athletic events.
This can be prevented by wearing an acceptable mouthguard. Unfortunately, many have the tendency to
purchase a “over the counter”stock mouthguard called a boil-and- bite. These mouthguards are not effective as they
have no retention and can easily fall out. They are not recommended by dental
professionals.
Other offices make mouthguards that are better than the
stock but are only a single layer.
Although they are custom fit, they may not protect the teeth because
they cannot absorb the trauma as well.
At Lund Dental, we are now excited to announce that we
are making custom mouthguards using our new state-of-the-art vacuum machine. The method we use is the most recommended and
produces a mouthguard consisting of several layers of strong laminated
material. Our mouthguards are the most effective because they are made
specifically for each individual patient, fitting the mouth perfectly.
Lund Dental is sponsoring the Stoneham Football team by
making complimentary mouthguards for any member of the team. We also hope to offer this service to other
sports teams in the future. We care
about protecting your children’s teeth from sports related injuries! To make an appointment to have a custom
mouthguard fabricated for your child, please call Lund Dental!
