Dr. Christopher Connolly Adds Custom Mouthguards to his NJ Dental Practice

Sewell, N.J.  – Dr. Christopher Connolly recently added custom mouthguards and mouthpieces to his dental practice. Sports injuries from contact sports such as football routinely involve damage to teeth. Wearing a properly fitted mouth guard can substantially prevent these oral/facial injuries from occurring.

“If you are wondering who should wear a mouthguard,” said Christopher Connolly of Aesthetic Family Dentistry, “Your best direction comes from The Academy for Sports Medicine. ” They answer the question with, “Anyone participating in a sport that contains a chance of injury to the teeth, jaws, or oral soft tissues or which shows a potential risk of concussion could benefit from the use of a mouthguard. In general, anyone participating in a contact or collision sport could benefit from a properly fitted and properly worn mouthguard. Participants in an individual sport, such as rollerblading, which puts the athlete at risk, should use a mouthguard. A properly fitted and properly worn mouthguard shouldn't interfere with an athlete performing any sport at the highest level.”

Mouthguards and mouthpieces are essential in athletic activities, and they can provide even more benefits by enhancing the performance of athletes using them. You can read more about these recent studies at Dr. Connolly’s website http://www.drcjconnolly.com/cosmetic-dentist/dentistry-br....
