New York Dental Practice Says Mouthguards Are A “Must” For Athletes

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - March 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Dr. William P. Caldon, D.M.D., owner of Plattsburgh’s High Peaks Dental, advises all athletes in high-contact and high-force sports to speak to their dentists about the benefits of custom mouthguards.

Plattsburgh, NY — Mar 24, 2015 — Renowned Plattsburgh dentist Dr. William Caldon published a new blog post entitled “Mouthguards: An Essential Part of Athletic Training Programs.” In the post, he explains that orofacial injuries sustained from sports can pose serious health concerns, but that comfortable, custom-made mouthguards can significantly reduce this risk.

Says Caldon, “Sports work wonders for our health by exercising our muscles, improving coordination, and reducing stress. But the benefits of an active, athletic lifestyle can be weighed down by risk of injury. When we think of protective athletic gear, more often than not externally worn items like helmets and shin guards come to mind. What’s missing from this picture? Protecting your teeth.”

Dr. Caldon has been a co-owner of High Peaks Dental since 1996 after serving in the United States Air Force for 20 years and retiring as a Colonel. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville and his Bachelor’s from Thomas More College. In 2013, USA Today featured Caldon as one of America’s Premier Dentists.
