Play Your Game and Protect Your Smile with Custom-Fit Mouthguards from Grove Dental.

With the weather getting warmer, you or your children may be gearing up for outdoor sports and activities, like soccer and baseball. And when it comes to protecting your mouth from injuries, a mouthguard should be an integral piece of equipment for athletes of any age and ability.

According to the American Dental Association, an athlete is 60 times more likely to sustain an injury to the teeth when not wearing a protective mouthguard. Mouthguards are designed to prevent significant damage where sports injuries are most prevalent and can cushion a blow to the face, minimizing impact that otherwise could cause broken teeth, jaw injuries or cuts to the face, lip or tongue.

Custom-fit for the Best Protection
At Grove Dental, we can custom-fit mouthguards for patients of every age to prevent injuries to the teeth, lips, tongue, face or jaw. To be effective, it's important that your mouthguard fits securely and stays in place during vigorous activity. Our custom-fit mouthguards are durable and specifically designed for each patient's unique smile. A custom-made mouthguard from Grove is designed to cover all the teeth and is the best type of mouth piece available. And since comfort is key, we make sure the mouthguard stays in place while you are wearing it, making it easy for you to talk and breathe while offering you the best fit, protection and comfort for your smile.

If you participate in sports, you know that losing isn't the worst thing that can happen to an athlete- sustaining a serious injury is. Anyone who participates in sports- whether basketball, football or hockey- carries a significant risk of injury and should always wear appropriate protective gear, including a mouthguard.

If you're ready to play it safe, contact one of our four offices - Bolingbrook, Lombard, Wheaton or Downers Grove- and we'll help you have your best performance, protection and appearance on and off the field.
