Mouth Guard – General Dental Services

The American Dental Association recommends the wearing of mouth guards for children and adults in most recreational activities, especially those that could result in a blow to the face or mouth.

A Properly fitted mouth guard, like one made at The South Florida (Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Ft. Lauderdale) Offices of Dr. Angela Berkovich by her experienced & professional staff, cushions blows that might otherwise cause broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face and jaw. It is believed that they can also reduce the severity and incidence of concussion.

There are several kinds of mouth guards. While boil-&-bite types do not require a dental fitting, the most effective and more comfortable mouth guards are custom made.
