Protect Your Game Face with Charm Dental
Dentist Foxboro
Engaging in sports is a great way to stay active and healthy, but not without its risks. Each year, an estimated 13-39% of all dental injuries occur while playing sports. The introduction of mouthguards in American football has prevented about 200,000 mouth and teeth injuries annually. However, the risk remains high in other sports, such as basketball, where players frequently face injuries from the ball, ground, or hoop.

Did You Know…
Recent studies have shown that basketball players are now more likely to suffer injuries to the face, mouth, and teeth than football players. This is due to the high-speed impact of the ball and other hard surfaces.
Custom-fitted mouthguards not only protect your teeth but also reduce the risk of concussion and other sports-related injuries.
The American Dental Association recommends wearing custom mouthguards for both practice and games, but many athletes overlook this vital piece of equipment.

Why should I choose a custom-fitted mouthguard?
Custom-fitted mouthguards offer superior protection compared to store-bought versions. They fit perfectly, providing better shock absorption and reducing the risk of injuries.
How long does it take to get a custom mouthguard?
It typically takes about one to two weeks from your initial impression to the final fitting. This process ensures your mouthguard is perfectly tailored to your teeth.

How do I care for my mouthguard?
Rinse your mouthguard with cold water or a mouth rinse before and after each use. Clean it with a toothbrush and toothpaste regularly, and keep it in a ventilated container when not in use.
