A Dental Tip for All Athletes.

Whether you play offense or defense or both in your chosen sport(s) here is something that all athletes should do.  Defend your Smile!  A good sports mouth guard is an essential part of any sports uniform.  It matters not whether you play contact or non-contact sports.  If you have heard of the “boil-and-bite” mouth guard you know that may NOT be enough.

The American Dental Association reported that athletes without proper mouth guards are SIXTY times more likely to suffer harm to their teeth.  About half of all adolescents will suffer an injury to the mouth.  Of those, about one-third of them are sports related.  This is why you must strongly consider a custom-fitted sports mouth guard that is customized just for your athlete(s). 

Dr. David Blackman DDS fabricates custom-fit mouth guards for as little as $60.   For an additional $20 you can add the name and number to the guard!   His office serves the communities of Carol Stream, Wheaton, Bloomingdale and the surrounding area.  Make an appointment for a custom athletic mouth guard at his office located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream by calling (630) 260-1700.
