Whether you wear braces or not, protecting your smile while playing sports is essential.

Mouth guards help protect your teeth and gums from injury. If you participate in a contact sport, the American Dental Association recommends that you wear a mouth guard.

There are three basic types of mouth guards: the pre-made mouth guard, the “boil-and-bite” fitted mouth guard, and a custom-made mouth guard from your dentist.

When choosing a mouth guard, be sure to choose one that is tear-resistant, comfortable, well-fitted for your mouth, easy to keep clean, and does not prevent you from breathing properly. Your dentist can show you how to wear a mouth guard properly and how to choose the right mouth guard to protect your smile.

Free New Patient Consultation

The first step in any procedure is to do a full examination of your teeth and mouth and then review with you the options to give you a beautiful smile. Many cosmetic procedures can be done without cutting or with minimal preparation — and affordably, and yet make a tremendous difference to your smile.

Mount Vernon Dental Smiles offers a special New Patient Consultation to evaluate your teeth and gums and show you the ways you can improve your smile. We can take pictures of your teeth and — using cosmetic imaging software — manipulate them to show you how your smile would look using different procedures.
