Sports injuries and accidents can happen at any time. Dental injuries are mostly preventable when a custom-fitted mouth guard is worn.
Properly fitted and properly maintained mouth guards offer protection from broken teeth, knocked out teeth, cuts to lips, cheeks, tongue, and gums, and they also help protect against a broken jaw.
Dr. Kaelin has an interest in Sports Dentistry and is a mom to two competitive athletes. She is a member of the Academy of Sports Dentistry. She has made specialty mouth guards for young athletes just starting on a team to high school competitive athletes to parents participating in adult leagues. Mouth guards are recommended for any sport or activity that has the chance of contact or collision such as baseball, softball, mountain biking, weight lifting, lacrosse, basketball, soccer, football, skiing, snowboarding, etc… even jumping on a trampoline!
We recommend and fabricate in our office a dual laminated guard which is made under high heat and high pressure. Athletes can design their guard and personalize it with a choice of color, design, sticker, or numbers. They are inexpensive, comfortable, and allow the athlete to breathe and talk while playing without the worry that it will fall out. It is a safe and cosmetic choice for athletic equipment.
Dr. Kaelin works with and speaks to individual athletes, local teams, coaches, parents, and booster clubs about dental trauma prevention, mouth guards, and treatment.
