Custom mouthguards available at the discounted price of $30! Call our office to schedule an appointment: (315) 463-0295 Full details ---> While many sports require players to wear mouthguards, not all do. James Street Dental Arts recommends all athletes wear a mouthguard when playing a contact sport. Here...'s why: Each year, more than 5 million teeth are injured or knocked out, resulting in nearly $500 million spent on replacing missing or injured teeth. Mouth guards are a lot less expensive than dental repairs! 39% of all dental injuries are sports-related. Athletics account for the greatest percentage of traumatic dental injuries in teens Half of all children and teens will suffer at least one traumatic injury to a tooth by the time they graduate from high school Broken teeth and other oral related injuries account for more than 600,000 emergency room visits a year. Sports-related injuries account for 3 times more facial and dental injuries than violence or traffic accidents Athletes are 60 times more likely to suffer an injury to their teeth when not wearing a mouthguard. 80% of traumatic dental injuries occur to the top front teeth, which are usually protected by a mouth guard. It's estimated that 200,000 oral injuries are prevented every year in the U.S. because of mouth guard use. Although more studies are needed, there has been research that indicates custom mouth guards can help protect against the risk of sports-related concussions. Mouth guards do a great job preventing injuries to the teeth, lips, tongue, and cheeks. But not all mouth guards are created equal. Comfort, fit, and durability are all important. Stock or bite and boil mouthguards wear out quickly and need to be frequently replaced as they become chewed and misshapen due to improper fit. That's why a custom fit, professional quality mouth guard is the smart choice. James Street Dental Arts can fit your child with a custom mouth guard today! HOW IT'S DONE: James Street Dental Arts will make a custom impression of your teeth and then fabricate a custom mouthguard that fits comfortably and snug against your teeth. Custom mouth guards that fit correctly are more likely to be worn! Get your custom-made mouth guard at James Street Dental Arts at the discounted price of $30 today!

A reminder to all you parents of young children, think "less is more" with fluoride toothpaste for kids who don't understand the "don't swallow" concept yet. Under 3 (and I would say even 5) years old the amount should really be just a smear no bigger than a grain of rice.

Fluoridation is the single most important public health measure to prevent cavities, said Dr. Brittany Seymour, the American Dental Association’s consumer spokeswoman.
