Sports Guard

Playing contact sports is not only a great way to get exercise, but it can also be fun. Nothing ruins the fun and competition of sports faster than an injury. While people participating in sports often remember protective gear, such as helmets and pads, sports mouth guards are also an essential piece of equipment.


Dr. Kazi and her staff at Lewelling Dental Care can provide custom fittings for sports mouth guards. Whether you are an adult or child, you need to protect your teeth during contact sports, such as football, lacrosse, wrestling and other sports where physical contact is possible.


A sports mouth guard can limit injuries to your teeth, tongue and the soft tissue in your mouth. For example, a properly fitted sports mouth guard can prevent teeth from damage, such as chipping or fractures.


Although over the counter sports mouth guards can be purchased in sporting goods stores, they may be uncomfortable and not provide proper protection. Dr. Kazi will custom fit a sports guard for your mouth. A custom fit mouth guard provides a better fit and better protection against injury.


After a mold of your teeth is taken, a guard is made out of thin plastic, which allows for easy breathing and speaking. Both of which comes in handy on the playing field.


Call Lewelling Dental Care at (510) 276-6040 and have Dr. Kazi custom fit you for a sports mouth guard.
