Whether you play competitive sports or simply enjoy an active Montana lifestyle, protecting your smile is an important part of protecting yourself. Dr. Jacob Wood and the team at Parkway Family Dental offer custom athletic mouthguards in Kalispell MT designed for a secure, comfortable fit.
Why Choose Custom Athletic Mouthguards in Kalispell MT?
Athletic activities can put your teeth, lips, cheeks, and other oral structures at risk of injury. The American Dental Association recommends properly fitted mouthguards for sports and recreational activities with a significant risk of dental or facial injury.
A custom mouthguard is made specifically for your teeth rather than relying on the generalized fit of a stock or boil-and-bite guard.
Custom athletic mouthguards can be a great option for children, teens, and adults participating in activities such as:
- Football
- Basketball
- Hockey
- Soccer
- Wrestling and martial arts
- Baseball and softball
- Skiing and snowboarding
- Biking and skateboarding
- Other high-impact or high-velocity activities
Even sports that are not traditionally considered contact sports can result in dental injuries.
A Comfortable, Personalized Fit
A mouthguard only works when an athlete actually wears it. Custom mouthguards are created from an accurate model of your teeth, helping provide improved retention and a comfortable fit.
The ADA identifies proper fit, secure retention, resilient materials, and impact absorption among the important characteristics of an athletic mouthguard.
Protect Your Smile While Staying Active
At Parkway Family Dental, we understand that our Kalispell and Flathead Valley patients love staying active. A custom athletic mouthguard or smart guard can provide an added layer of protection while allowing you to focus on the activity you enjoy.
Dr. Wood can evaluate your teeth and recommend an athletic guard based on your age, bite, sport, and individual needs.
