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.
Our family has been coming here for almost 6 years. My oldest daughter was so nervous to go to the dentist for the first time and they went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable. We had the option to switch dentists due to our new insurance, but due to how comfortable they helped my young daughter feel we chose to stay with them. We now have three daughters and all three love going to the dentist. A very positive experience!
I initially picked this place because it is literally on the one road I must use to get anywhere from my apartment (I live in a very rural area). I could not have been luckier with my choice. Of course dentists get a bad rap in general because well, who enjoys having another persons hands in their mouth much less with the very real potential for sharp objects and tiny power tools to be used as part of the process? My random decision based entirely on convenience of location has resulted in the discovery of a care provider that easily exceeds not only my expectations but also surpasses with ease every other dental experience I have had in my 52 years on this planet. Every aspect of the care I’ve received here is nothing short of exceptional. They are genuinely friendly and undoubtedly skilled. The entire experience from reception to the dreaded chair and back is without a doubt superior to every other dental practice I have encountered. In a field where the potential for opportunistic behavior is ripe, the staff here is nothing but genuine, thoughtful, and professional. I regularly tell people how lucky I feel to have ended up with the best oral care I’ve ever had as a result of a random decision that was based entirely on convenience. I literally can not state how grateful I am to be a patient here and I would dare say that I look forward to my appointments. Hands down the best oral care I’ve ever received and I’m picky about my teeth .
Friendly , efficient , professional service All appointments and procedures have been done with skill and care. Well done!!
Kind, thorough, efficient, compassionate dental care.
