Sports Mouthguards

It’s estimated that over 20 million children take part in one after-school sport or another. With that amount of children engaging in sports and other activities like skiing, gymnastics, and martial arts, there is a higher chance of injury. Did you know that up to 20% of these injuries are due to fractured or otherwise damaged teeth?

Dr. Johnson can create a sports mouthguard for your child (or you) that is customized to their individual sport, and even to the school they attend (i.e. purple and gold tiger stripes for LHS students).  Experts in Sports Dentistry teach that such individualized appliances not only protect teeth and gums, but can reduce the incidence of concussions, and result in more confident and aggressive participation.  After an impression, he will have our lab fabricate the custom-fit guard, which is molded to fit your child’s unique smile.

When worn regularly, your child can protect their teeth, jaws, and lips from injury. Your child only gets one set of adult teeth. Dr. Johnson can help you keep them safe.
