Mouthguards in Shrewsbury
At Shrewsbury Dental Associates, we help protect more than smiles; we protect active lifestyles. Custom mouthguards (or sports guards) are a must for our patients who participate in athletics. Whether you're a child on a school team or an adult playing recreational sports, we offer expert preventive dental services right here in Shrewsbury to keep your smile safe during play.
What Are Mouthguards?
Mouthguards help reduce the risk of broken teeth, soft-tissue injuries, and jaw trauma by absorbing and distributing impact. They are most commonly used in contact sports like football and hockey, but they can also be beneficial for many other athletic activities.
Why do Athletes Need Mouthguards?
Even with proper training, accidents on the field or court can cause serious dental emergencies without proper protection. Families in Southern York County often choose custom guards because they are more comfortable and durable than store-bought options, making them easier to wear consistently during practices and games.
What to Expect When Getting Your Custom Mouthguard
Creating your mouthguard begins by taking digital impressions of your mouth to ensure a precise, comfortable fit. Once the mouthguard is ready, you’ll return to our office for a fitting, where we’ll check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
If you’re looking for a reliable way to protect your smile when playing sports, contact Shrewsbury Dental Associates today. Our friendly team, including Dr. Kaplan and Dr. Krishnan, is proud to care for families throughout Southern York County, offering preventive dental solutions and peace of mind in your backyard.
