Mouth guards are essential equipment in contact sports such as football, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball, softball, and soccer. Wearing a mouth guard helps prevent damage to your teeth and jaw, and prevents lacerations to your cheeks, tongue, and lips. They have also been shown to help decrease the risk of concussions.

Mouth guards sold in most sporting goods store do not offer athletes the highest level of protection.  They are also usually ill-fitting and uncomfortable. For optimal protection, visit Dr. Seini and get fitted with a custom mouth guard. Custom mouth guards are created from hardened plastic, which allows them to be thinner and allows you to breathe easier and talk to your team mates during a game. Athletes in Orange County who are interested in maintaining their highest level of performance on the field, court, or rink should schedule an appointment today.
