Being active is wonderful for your body and mind\u2014but don\u2019t neglect your smile! Whether you’re playing football, skateboarding, or even a pickup game of basketball, you’re always vulnerable to a face hit. That’s where a little prevention makes a big difference in avoiding a lot of pain (and dental bills).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to Know Your MVP: The Mouthguard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Envision a mouthguard as a helmet for your teeth. It spreads and absorbs shock when you’re hit in the face, which keeps your teeth, gums, and jaw from getting badly hurt. Not all mouthguards are the same, though. Let’s sort them out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stock Mouthguards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can get these at most sporting goods stores. They’re already on, and quite cheap\u2014but not that protective. They’re a one-size-fits-all deal, which usually means that they fit poorly, at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A step above the standard ones, these are more comfortable to wear. You soften them in warm water, bite down on them, and let them mold to your teeth. They’re affordable and easy to use\u2014great for recreational players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalized Mouthguards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are the real game-changers. Made to your specifications by your dentist, fitting your teeth perfectly, and giving you the ultimate comfort and protection. If you’re playing sports on a regular or league level, it\u2019s the definite way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediate Response to a Dental Injury<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lost a tooth? Don\u2019t lose your cool. If it\u2019s whole and clean, try to put it back in the socket. If that\u2019s not possible, place it on your cheek or put it in a cup of water to keep it moist. Head directly to Jarrell Dental Care<\/mark><\/a>, if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep That Smile Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You work hard to be in shape, so don\u2019t sacrifice your teeth in the process. Adding mouth protection to your gear is an easy step that pays you big dividends. Whether you’re dominating on the field or cruising down the mountain, your smile should be as well-protected as the rest of your body. Play hard. Just play smart, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
