Like many dentists, I didn’t pay much attention to sports mouthguards until my son, Chandler, needed one for ice hockey. Most of the team parents assumed a boil-and-bite mouthguard was the only choice, but because of my years at Glidewell I knew better.

The custom-made PlaySafe® mouthguard fits better, offers more protection, and most importantly to my son, looks really cool! Mouthguards lower the risk of broken teeth and the severity of trauma to facial bones and tissues. In addition, they may help absorb blows to the chin and jaw that could potentially result in a concussion. Let your patients know you provide this wonderful service!
