Custom-Fitted Athletic Mouthguards Can Protect Your Favorite Smiles (video)

stephenlega • October 9, 2017

At our general dentist office, we want to protect our patients’ smiles. That means fighting cavities and gum disease. It also means protecting your teeth from trauma as much as possible.

No one can anticipate when an accident might happen, but we know that injuries are more likely on the playing field or court than in the stands. If you or someone you love plays any sports, we encourage you to wear an athletic mouthguard.

In particular, we recommend custom-fitted athletic mouthguards , like the ones we can make at our dentist office in Columbia, SC. These are both more comfortable and offer better protection than the mouthguards you can find in stores.

To make an appointment at Total Dental Care Of South Carolina, call 803-272-4162 or contact us online today! It’s never too early to protect your smile.
