Mouth Guards Newbury Park, CA
Advanced Laser Dental Care at Newbury Dental Group
At Newbury Dental Group, we can provide you or your children with mouth guards that can serve to protect the teeth.
You only get one set of permanent teeth, making it critical to take the steps necessary to preserve them. Dr. Peyman Saghizadeh, Dr. Sam Saghizadeh always recommends starting by keeping your teeth healthy. When your teeth are free of decay or infection, they will be stronger and less likely to become damaged in an accident. To keep them healthy and strong, we suggest visiting our Newbury Park, CA dental office twice a year for a routine teeth cleaning. You can schedule an appointment by calling 805.600.5770.Â
Keep in mind that while healthy teeth are less likely to become damaged, they still can be and this is where a mouth guard can be helpful. There are several types of mouth guards that you can wear to protect yourself from a sports-related dental injury. While you can buy a one-size-fits-all solution at the drugstore, there is always a risk that it will become loose and slip out of place when you need it most. You can also purchase a kit that requires you to boil the guard and then fit it to your teeth. This too, can be amateurish in how well it fits, simply because it was not professionally created. As a 91320 dental office, we recommend you visit us so that can take measurements and make an impression of your mouth. This way, a mouth guard can be created in the lab to the exact specifications of your teeth. At Newbury Dental Group, we are confident that when you wear one of our guards, your teeth will be protected from the majority of dental injuries that occur when playing sports.
What do mouth guards look like?
Why do people wear mouth guards?
Primarily, mouth guards are necessary when practicing or playing sports. Most people (especially adults) do not realize how common it is to sustain a face or mouth injury during a sports game. While certain sports like football are notorious for requiring players to wear guards, others, like basketball, are not. As a result, basketball players have a high rate of injury. In fact, according to the American Dental Association, the risk of sustaining an injury is 1.6 to 1.9 times higher when not wearing a mouth guard. Dental mouth guards are so effective at preventing injuries that the ADA estimates, 200,000 of them are prevented every year by wearing this small and simple device. If you are a Newbury Park parent looking to keep your child safe, getting them a mouth guard is an easy way to do so.
