Exercise the Body While Protecting & Enhancing the Mouth
The body needs exercise. I am a firm believer in the fact. Our muscles were meant to be used, so the more exercise, the merrier. Unfortunately, although we enjoy sports, injury is an inescapable part of the equation.
In sports where significant contact occurs, as a Naperville dentist I strongly recommend a custom athletic mouth guard. When it is required, I know that most young and adolescent players take a quick trip to the local Bolingbrook sporting goods store for a “boil-and-bite” mouth guard, but experience also tells me that these guards fail to accomplish their primary purpose: protecting the teeth by absorbing the impact of a blow to the face or head.
Impact absorption is the key issue. A custom mouth guard from our Plainfield dental office absorbs impact much more effectively. It also keeps your teeth in place, properly aligns your bite, helps improve sleep and relieves neck tension and chronic headaches. So the next time you need a mouth guard, consider the value of a professionally personalized form of protection.
