<\/a><\/p>\nEvery year I take great enjoyment out of the summer season. There is nothing better than taking in a Red Sox game with the family, travelling to the Cape to catch some sun, or heading out west to Tanglewood. But, with all things in life, such good things must come to an end in New England, and now we start to face the reality of the Fall season approaching. As a parent, my focus is typically on the fact that school will be in session soon. This also means that the football, basketball, and hockey players in the house will be back on their respective fields of play.<\/a><\/p>\n
At Wayland Dental, we can play a part in the safety of the resident athlete by providing them with a custom athletic mouthguard that will help to protect their teeth and jaw from the inevitable bump on the playing field. Store bought mouthguards can be\u00a0\u00a0uncomfortable which leads to a lack of compliance by the athlete in wearing them. A mouthguard that is in the gym bag on the sidelines is not nearly as effective as one which is being worn during play! We can fabricate a custom fit appliance that wont leave the user with the desire to toss it out after the first use. The process is easy and quick and will go a long way to preventing sports related trauma. As you make your school shopping list of pencils, notepads, and backpacks, put a sports mouthguard on the list and give us a call at 508 651-0500 to discuss further how we\u00a0can help to keep those pearly whites from damage. Happy end of summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
