Overview
If you or your child plays a high-impact sport (such as soccer, boxing, football, baseball, hockey, or wrestling), then the board-certified Dental Health team highly recommends a custom mouth guard to protect the teeth, gums, and jaw. Unlike generic mouth guards bought at the store, custom mouth guards from Dental Health are molded and fit for each patient, making them more comfortable and effective. To protect your family's smiles against the risk of oral damage that can occur during athletic activities, please contact Dental Health Brattleboro, VT for more information about custom mouth guards.
Best Candidates
Mouth guards are important if you or your child plays a sport that involves high contact or has a high risk of injury. Many of our patients participate in martial arts, football, volleyball, hockey, softball, soccer, wrestling, and other contact sports. A mouth guard can be especially helpful if you or your family members have braces or dental restorations since these can easily cut your gums and the soft tissue lining your mouth. Mouth guards have also been proven to help athletes in non-contact sports (running, yoga, weight training) by decreasing tension on the jaw. Since a custom mouth guard is made especially for individual needs, it typically fits better and lasts longer than stock or boil and bite mouth protectors available at sporting goods stores.
What to Expect
To create your custom mouth guard, Dental Health will take a series of digital or physical impressions of your mouth. These impressions will be sent off to a dental laboratory where your mouth guard will be carefully crafted from durable, high-quality materials. Once made and sent back to our office, you will come back to our office for a fitting. Our team will make sure that your guard fits properly and feels comfortable.
Dental Health Reviews
Excellent dentist. Compassionate and caring. Everything explained well and she's highly skilled.
Dr Ellison's office is the happiest and friendlyest dental practice I've ever had in my 81 years. I've had all sorts of dental work done at her practice, implants, crowns, extractions and general exams and cleaning. The med techs that assist in all procedures are well educated and trained well. At 81, I wasn't sure about having another implant so I asked Dr Ellison and we had a 20 minute chat to help me with my decision. She went over X-rays and we discussed pros and cons and with her help decided to have an extraction instead of a transplant since it was a tooth in the background and would not be seen when smiling and would not interfere with chewing. At 81 I thought this was a smart choice. Dr Ellison is so pleasant, friendly and professional all at the same time. Same with her entire staff right up to the front desk who are also very helpful in answering questions. I can recommend this dental office wholeheartedly without hesitation.
Very pleased
The went the extra mile for me and my initial needs, making extra appointment times available just for me. fabulous, positive staff, soothing communication from doctors with a personal touch of communication. Thrilled to have found their practice, very grateful. Small bump in the road initially with office staff, but was quickly addressed and have been very pleased and grateful ever since
I’ve been with them since moving to Vermont in 2019. Dr. Ellison and every other contact I’ve had there has been great.
