That is why, our team here at Andrew Henritze DDS in Roanoke, Virginia, is happy to talk to you about the importance of mouthguards and how they keep your teeth safe.
Mouthguards protect your teeth and gums from accidental injury. A mouthguard is a significant part of your recreation or sports attire and should be worn for your oral health protection. High-impact sports will often require one for your safety, however skateboarding, and other recreational activities still need a mouthguard too in case of injury.
There are many kinds of mouthguards you can choose from. Your dentist, Dr. Andrew W Henritze, DDS can custom-make a mouthguard specifically for your teeth. These are formed for your own unique smile and needs. Other choices might include boil and bite guards or stock mouthguards, which can be found at many sports stores.
