Mouthguards

It's time for dentists to pair up with athletes, parents and coaches to raise awareness about the importance of guarding against facial injuries.

From team sports like football, basketball and hockey, to activities such as biking and rollerblading, children and adults often forget to use a mouthguard.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half of the seven million sports and recreation-related injuries each year occur with children, some as young as 5 years old!

The American Dental Association (ADA) states that "mouthguard usage has been found to contribute significantly to a lower risk of dental trauma" when related to high-velocity sports.

For children and adolescent patients (who see our team regularly and are not in active orthodontic treatment), we will make mouthguards free of charge when participating in school sports. These are custom-fit, secure and comfortable.

Call us today if you have questions about how we can help you or your child protect their smile.

We sponsor the Cedar Rapids Roller Derby team and make all of their mouth guards!
