If your kids are involved in sports, you know
how important proper protection is, but knee and elbow pads are not the only
things you need if your kids play contact sports.
Talk to your Romo Dental about mouth
guards and night guards that cannot only be used for sports, but also sleeping
if you or your family tends to grind their teeth during the night.
Mouth guards are made from flexible plastic designed
to be worn over your teeth and can be custom made by your Hispanic Dentist, or
found in major sporting good stores. However, according to Dr. Romo, those
store bought mouth guards could cause more damage as they are bulky, not made
to fit, and provide little if any protection. In fact, most Chicago Dentists do not recommend using stock mouth guards.
Boil and bite is another type of mouth guard
that you can purchase from your local sporting goods store, and just may give a
better fit than standard mouth guards may. Easy to use, you just place your
mouth guard in warm water, place it inside your mouth, and shape it around your
teeth.
When it comes to sports guards and mouth
guards, your Chicago Dentist recommends that you schedule and appointment for a
custom fitted sports guard or mouth guard.
During your scheduled appointment, Dr. Romo
and his professional team will fit you with a mouth guard by making an
impression. Each custom fitted sports guard is designed especially for you and
is made to fit. Once the lab has received your impression, a specially fitted
mouth guard will be molded over the top of your impression. Custom made sports
guards and mouth guards may cost a bit more, but the extra money is well worth
it for protection and comfort. Check with your insurance company and your
Dentist in Chicago as your policy might cover the use of sports guards and
mouth guards.
When you make an appointment for a sports
guard or mouth guard fitting, Dr. Roma will suggest the best option for your
particular needs. Your dentist will choose a product that will not
restrict your speech or breathing, is easy to clean, and most importantly,
durable.
Accidents happen, and if you want to avoid potential disaster when it comes to your kid’s teeth, schedule an appointment for a new sports guard or mouth guard with your Chicago Dentist, Dr. Romo.
