Keeping Asheville Braces Safe
With Summer in full swing it is easy to forget that school sports are right around the corner, some as early as August 1st.
- We want to provide the most pertinent and relavent information regarding the protection of teeth from trauma.
- Mouth guards are a MUST with sports, plain and simple. It does not matter if you have braces or not.
- Contrary to common belief, football is NOT the source of most dental injuries. While hockey runs a close second, the highest incidence of trauma to teeth from adolescent sporting activities is basketball.
- Now Moms, don't bubble wrap your tiny basketball players, just get them a mouth guard!
- We provide mouth guards for all our patients that are wearing braces. The mouth guards that are worn over braces are a little different than what you might be used to.
- Boil and bite is not right! The mouth guard should not form fit around the brackets
