Custom Athletic Mouthguards in Superior, WI: Protecting Your Child’s Smile

September 9, 2014

You do everything you can to protect your children from harm, especially when they’re involved in sports and other recreational activities. You buy helmets, pads, and other high-performance equipment, but what about protecting your little one’s teeth? At Hill Avenue Dental, Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. and Dr. H. Douglas Clark, III offer an extensive selection of preventive dentistry services to the members of our Superior, WI community and the surrounding areas, including custom athletic mouthguards.

Why Choose a Custom Athletic Mouthguard?

While it is true that athletic mouthguards of all varieties can be found on the shelves of your nearest sporting goods store, these generic appliances simply cannot provide the level of protection your child needs out on the playing field. According to the National Youth Sports Foundation for the Prevention of Athletic Injuries, injuries to the teeth and mouth are the most common type of orofacial damage experienced by children who play sports.

Fortunately, there is a way to mitigate these statistics. The American Dental Association (ADA) estimates that more than 200,000 orofacial injuries are prevented each year with custom athletic mouthguards. These comfortable, durable oral appliances have been proven effective in the prevention of numerous common injuries, including avulsed (knocked out) teeth, soft tissue injuries, lacerations to the gums, broken jaws, and even concussions. Our doctors are sincerely concerned with your child’s oral health and comfort, and our wide range of preventive dentistry solutions is designed with those factors in mind. Ask us today about how custom athletic mouthguards can help keep your son or daughter safe during gameplay.

Protect Your Smile From Serious Damage with Mouth Guards from Hill Avenue Dental

January 28, 2014

When you’re playing a sport – whether it be football, basketball, baseball or hockey – your mind is on your game and your focus is on your competition. With victory weighing heavily on your mind, how much thought do you put into keeping your teeth safe from injury? At Hill Avenue Dental in Superior, WI, Drs. Clark and Clark want to give you the best possible advantage out on the field, on the court, in the rink and anywhere else you enjoy recreational activities with athletic mouth guards.
The Benefits of Using a Mouth Guard
When you engage in any type of physical activity with others, the opportunity for accidental injury becomes more common. A wrong step, an error in technique or even an intentional shove can quickly lead to a forceful blow to the mouth or jaw. The soft tissues of the tongue, lips and gums can be seriously injured in an instant, whether by the force of the opposing object or the teeth in your own mouth. Mouth guards allow athletes to continue playing the sports that they love without the worry of a knocked out tooth, lacerated tongue or deeply cut gums.
Many athletes avoid mouth guardsbecause they think such a device will feel uncomfortable or somehow impede their performance. On the contrary, athletic mouth guards from Hill Avenue Dental are made of only the highest quality materials and are custom-fitted to your teeth and palate. This means that you’ll always be comfortable even as you’re defending your teeth and gums from serious injury.

If you or your child plays a sport that involves regular contact with other players or objects, contact us today to find out how we can help you get the protection you need with custom athletic mouth guards. At our Superior, WIoffice, Drs. Clark and Clark proudly serve patients from Douglas County, Duluth, Northeastern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin and beyond.
