Preserve Your Dental Health With a Sports Mouthguard

Sport-related mouth trauma affects millions of individuals every year. If you're involved in a sport that has frequent body contact with other players and objects as well, you should consider a sports mouthguard.

Removable mouthguards are made of sturdy plastic that sits comfortably over your teeth. They're designed to cover the top teeth but can also be fabricated to protect the lower teeth. People who wear braces may need a special mouthguard that provides more protection and coverage.

There are three types of mouthguards available:

• Pre-formed and ready-to-wear stock mouthguards

• Boil and bite mouthguards

• Custom mouthguards fabricated by a dentist

Let Minnesota Lakes Dental PLLC help you choose the right sports mouthguard to protect your smile. Call (507) 262-4659 to schedule an appointment.a
