Do You Need a Mouthguard? – Part 3

Well, it’s June, and summer officially begins on the 21st! The weather is already warm, and people all over Beaumont are rocking summer sports. At Smilepoint Dental, we get to see the painful side of these sports – chipped, cracked, and lost teeth – not to mention bitten tongues! We don’t want this summer to be the one you always remember as painful and spent in a dentist’s office, though we are more than happy to give you world-class care if you do. That is why we have examined some summer sports that call for mouthguards. Today, we have two more!

Sand Volleyball

We’ll be honest: we know that wearing a mouthguard while playing some casual beach volleyball with your friends probably won’t happen. You need to use your best judgement. However, it’s easy to get elbowed in the mouth or take the ball to the face in the heat of gameplay. If things are getting serious, use a mouthguard to make sure you can spend the next game playing rather than making an appointment with an emergency dentist.

Softball/Baseball

These sports don’t involve tackling, but baseballs can do serious damage, and when you’re sliding into home plate, you can’t predict what will happen. We recommend you wear a mouthguard to keep your teeth safe and whole.

Smilepoint Dental is proud to be the premium emergency dentist in Texas. We always put our patients first, and you can rest assured that you will always receive world-class care. Contact us today for an appointment!
