Clarksville Dentist to Take Sports Dentistry Course, Offer Mouthguards

June 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Dr. Jennifer Sokolosky of Clarksville, MD has registered to attend a sports dentistry course with an emphasis on in-office fabrication of removable dental appliances such as sportsguards and mouthguards. The use of mouthguards is encouraged in every sport that could result in a blow to the face or mouth. A properly fitted mouthguard such as the ones offered at Dr. Sokolosky’s office can help to prevent dental issues such as broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue and jaw. They are also much easier to speak and breath with compared to over-the-counter mouthguards or boil-and-bite mouthguards.

The course Dr. Sokolosky is taking will allow her to offer the most precision fitting and functional sportsguards on the market. The devices are custom-made through a German-engineered Druformat Scan Pressure Machine. This machine thermoforms oral appliances instantly in-office and negates the need for wait times as with other mouthguards created off-site in dental labs. This new technology also allows the Clarksville office to create custom teeth whitening trays, nightguards, retainers and splints, giving patients a more convenient location to maintain or safeguard their oral health care needs.

The course will be held in Baltimore, MD this coming November as part of the Maryland Academy of General Dentistry where information-hungry dentists like Dr. Sokolosky gather to learn the latest techniques and technologies available.
