Your younger patients will be going back to school this month. For those in high school and middle school that might mean returning to training for their sport of choice, including football, soccer, wrestling, and hockey. Parents of these students are likely willing to pay a lot of money for the best equipment and pads to keep their children safe, so don’t forget to remind them about investing in a quality mouth guard.

Generic mouth guards are available over the counter, but only a dentist can ensure a mouth guard that is specially fitted to an individual. Explain to the parents that a mouth guard sold by a dentist provides a better fit, which ensures better protection for the teeth. It may help to prevent concussions, as well – always a huge concern with contact sports.

Consider yourself a mouth guard expert. Don’t be afraid to speak up and encourage parents to invest in the best. At SML (Space Maintainers Laboratories), our technicians can manufacture high quality mouth guards for your patients.
