Preventing Facial Injuries

At Chattanooga Center for Comprehensive Dentistry, we understand how important it is to protect your teeth during sports. Whether it’s a high-contact team sport or an individual activity, facial injuries are common, and accidents can happen at any time.

A blow to the face or mouth can cause significant damage to your teeth, leading to chipped, cracked, or even completely knocked-out teeth. These types of injuries not only affect the appearance of your smile but can also have functional consequences, making it difficult to eat, speak, or smile confidently. In some cases, a severe injury may cause pain, sensitivity, or even long-term complications that require extensive dental treatment to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

Protecting your teeth during sports or other high-risk activities is crucial to avoid these injuries and maintain your overall oral health. We highly recommend using a custom mouthguard to protect your teeth from these injuries. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom mouthguards provide a better fit, comfort, and protection, reducing the risk of oral injuries and enhancing overall safety during sports activities. If you or your child is active in sports, a mouthguard should be considered essential gear.

If you have already experienced a dental injury from a sports-related accident, our team at Chattanooga Center for Comprehensive Dentistry is here to help. We offer comprehensive dental care to repair any damage and restore your smile. Call us today to discuss mouthguard options or schedule a consultation if you need treatment for any previous injuries.
