Custom-fitted sports mouth guards from our Grand Forks dentists are designed to protect your teeth and gums against damage caused by impact during physical activities.
Smile Protection While You Play
Dental injuries can occur during everyday activities, physical activity, and not just those that are considered high-impact.
This is why protective mouth guards were designed for athletes of all ages. They help form a protective barrier around your teeth, protecting the teeth and gums.
At Border Country Dental, we are pleased to offer custom-fitted mouth guards to help protect your smile. Fitted mouth guards help to provide comfort so you can focus on your performance.
Prevention is the Best Treatment
Any form of impact to the face can potentially harm your jaw and neck, which can lead to tooth loss and concussions in worse cases.
Our dentists in Grand Forks see patients with sports-related dental injuries. These types of injuries can be expensive and time-consuming to repair, so we highly recommend that prevention is best practice.
Whether your an amateur or professional athlete, it is important to wear a custom-made sports guard while performing any activity where falls or contact can occur.
