Do your kids love playing football, soccer, and other fall sports?  They're a great way to stay busy, keep in shape, and most importantly - have fun!  Just make sure that your kids are protected from injuries while they play.  Wearing a mouthguard helps protect your teeth from sports injuries and trauma.

Wearing a Mouthguard Prevents:

• Bruising by acting as a buffer between the lips and teeth.
• Tooth fractures and chips.
• Opposing teeth from contacting each other.
• Jaw trauma by acting as a shock absorber.

For more information on mouthguards and their benefits, check out this article in Dentistry Today.  You can also contact our office for more information on what your child can do to protect their teeth this fall.   Call 516-222-5100 to contact our Garden City office or 516-759-7000 to contact our Glen Cove office.
