Mouthguards prevent the broken or lost teeth we often see in these close contact games. But as anything, they only work when they are worn, so we encourage parents & coaches to remind their young athletes to wear their mouthguards consistently during games and practices.

And while the US National Athletic Association only requires them for football, hockey & lacrosse, the American Dental Association recommends the use of a mouthguard 29 sports/exercise activities as well. So, whenever there is a chance of contact with a hard surface or another player, wearing a mouthguard makes sense.

Dr. Sayeg offers mouthguards to all his patients free of charge, so please give us a call at 404-255-6782 to have one made!
