An athletic mouth guard is something that you don’t need until you do. So we have all seen pictures of that one person that has the front tooth that’s nearly knocked out of their head and that’s definitely something that’s preventable. So we use the scanner, it’s no longer the goop impression, so we just use a camera to make those athletic mouth guards.
The process is super easy and just to be able to protect yourself in impact sports is something that could potentially be priceless. Night guards as far as bruxism and grinding at night is really just a matter of protecting your teeth, making sure that you’re not able to cause any damage when you can’t stop yourself from doing it. So I certainly recommend anyone that’s grinding and clenching at night that’s starting to wear down those teeth a little bit, we can’t get that enamel back once it’s gone.
Be able to prevent that damage before it begins is certainly in your best interest.
