Professionally Fitted Mouth Guards are a must for Livingston Athletes

April 28, 2010 - PRLog -- High School sports are a major cause of mouth injuries notes Dr. Gary Silverstrom of The Silverstrom Group, Livingston.  “We see these injuries frequently in our practice. Measures like using a professionally fitted mouth guard can prevent serious problems like the loss of teeth.”  

Dr Silverstrom further noted that direct blows to the mouth and teeth from hockey sticks, bats, hard balls, and elbows and even the ground or floor can be cushioned by the use of a quality, professionally fitted mouth guard. It will absorb a portion of a force directed to the mouth and teeth. The stiffness of a guard can help to distribute the force over a greater surface area, helping to prevent damage to an athlete's teeth and jaw bones. It can also prevent tooth damage to existing dental work; specifically dental crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers, and even dental implants.

Under Armour Performance Mouthwear, professionally fitted, has been acclaimed as one the finest guards for increased safety and improved performance.  
In an effort to offer the best protection to Livingston’s young athletes, The Silverstrom Group is offering a 50% reduction of the usual fee for a custom fitted UA mouth guard to any Livingston High School student until July 1, 2010.  Students may pick up a coupon at the Big L event on May 4th at the High School or by calling 973 992 3990 to schedule a fitting appointment.
