Rochester Dentist Offers Friendly Dental Advice for Athletes

Dr. Phyllis Indianer, Rochester Hills dentist, shares dental tips for athletes to enhance and protect their performance.

2012-10-27

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI, October 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) While many people enjoy watching football or hockey, there are many who also enjoy actively participating in these athletic events. To help these athletes keep their teeth, Dr. Phyllis Indianer, Rochester dentist, is available to offer her patients friendly dental tips this season. Whether patients are professional athletes, or just weekend warriors, Dr. Indianer urges her patients to protect their teeth with custom mouth guards.

"It only takes a split second to damage your beautiful smile. Too often, patients go into my office with an injury that could have been prevented by wearing a mouth guard. When athletic injuries occur due to the lack of a mouth guard, extensive dental care is often needed. I want my patients to be aware of the risks they are taking by not wearing a mouth guard this season and I hope that they take this advice and protect their teeth while participating in their chosen sport," said Dr. Phyllis Indianer, Rochester Hills dentist.

When it comes to protecting a person's teeth, no precautions are too extreme. Dr. Indianer, cosmetic dentist in Rochester, stresses the importance of wearing a mouth guard as an athlete. Wearing a mouth guard helps athletes to reduce the incidence or severity of an injury. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), if a person participates in organized sports or recreational activities, there are always risks of injury to the mouth. By wearing a mouth guard, injuries can be minimized, if not eliminated.

"Let's take a look at professional hockey players-all wear mouth guards to protect their teeth. While many players often experience a puck to the face or even a jab to the face, wearing a mouth guard helps to minimize the injury. While a player might lose a couple teeth, a mouth guard helps to protect them from even more serious injuries," said Dr. Indianer, Rochester cosmetic dentist.

When choosing a mouth guard, Dr. Indianer, dentist in Rochester Hills, MI, is available to help in the process. For added protection, Dr. Indianer encourages the use of custom-made mouth guards, which are made specifically for each individual's teeth. Additionally, patients are encouraged to replace their mouth guards if they develop holes or tears. Having a mouth guard that is worn out can irritate the teeth and oral tissues, which makes it important for patients to periodically check the condition and replace when necessary.

Patients who are actively involved in sports or other recreational activities are encouraged to contact Dr. Indianer, cosmetic dentist in Rochester, for options in protecting their teeth from injury. It is always important to protect and maintain a healthy smile by using a mouth guard.
