True or False - Youth football and hockey have the highest amount of sports-related dental injuries.
 

FALSE. Due to mandatory protective equipment - mouthguards - the number of dental and facial injuries have reduced significantly in these sports over the years. In actuality, baseball and basketball have been shown to have the highest incidence of sports-related dental injuries in this age group.

 

With spring sports - like baseball and softball- gearing up for the season, it’s important to make sure your child is well prepared. Prevent dental injuries in all spring sports or outdoor fun by including a mouthguard as a mandatory part of play.

And while any mouthguard is better than no mouthguard, our team at Adelberg Montalvan strongly recommends opting for a custom fit guard - and here’s why:

• Custom fabricated mouthguards are created off of a dental model of your child’s mouth. This makes the guard completely unique to your athlete.
• Custom made guards are superior in retention, protection, and comfort. Since they fit perfectly to your child’s mouth, they won’t interfere with speech or breathing.
• Custom made guards better cover all of your child’s teeth - even those with braces!
• Custom guards can also be created in any color your child prefers - to match their school or PAL team uniforms - right here in any of our three locations!

At all three of our locations you can find a Mouthguard Center that will fit your child with a custom mouthguard, and the bonus is you don’t need to be a patient - so be sure to share with your child’s teammates!
