[BLOG]"},"content":{"rendered":"

It\u2019s the first game of your summer softball season, and you\u2019re excited about being back on the field playing in a league with your co-workers.<\/p>\n

You get to loosen up, have a little fun, get some exercise, and just let the stress of adult life and parenthood fade away for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

Your spouse and the kids are cheering you on from the bleachers, and for a moment, you lose focus.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when it hits you\u2026 literally!<\/p>\n

A line drive you weren\u2019t ready for crashes into your jaw, breaks your tooth, and leaves your mouth throbbing in pain.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s no way to start the season!<\/p>\n

You need to visit Dr. Finley and our team in Monroe, LA for an athletic mouthguard<\/a> so you\u2019re protected from injuries like the one we just described.<\/p>\n

3 Reasons To Get An Athletic Mouthguard<\/h2>\n

Here are just three of the many reasons an athletic mouthguard should only come from a trained professional like you\u2019ll find at Bayou Dental Group:<\/p>\n

*Your Healthy Smile Is Worth It*<\/h3>\n

The cheaper option, of course, is to grab a mouthguard from the sporting goods store.<\/p>\n

But taking the cheap route now could cost you a great deal later.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because a mouthguard that\u2019s not measured especially for you won\u2019t fit comfortably. You\u2019re not likely to wear it if that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n

Thus, your teeth and gums are at risk for blunt force contact and traumatic dental injuries.<\/p>\n

That can lead to costly, and probably invasive, dental treatments.<\/p>\n

Your smile and oral health are worth the investment in a high-quality, customized athletic mouthguard from an experienced dentist!<\/p>\n

*Your Team Is Counting On You*<\/h3>\n

If you play a team sport like softball or baseball, then your performance affects every player. That means letting yourself become distracted by a shifting, loose mouthguard only puts your safety, and that of your team members, at risk.<\/p>\n

Not being able to breathe and speak to your teammates easily because of a poorly-fitted mouthguard also threatens your team\u2019s safety and overall performance.<\/p>\n

Even if you play a sport where you\u2019re the only one on the field or court, you and your coach are both counting on your ability to focus, concentrate, and perform safely.<\/p>\n

*You Deserve The Best Protection*<\/h3>\n

The only reason anyone needs to wear an athletic mouthguard in the first place is for protection.<\/p>\n

So what good would an ill-fitting guard from a store do you if it didn\u2019t cover your teeth and gums properly? Where\u2019s the protection in that?<\/p>\n

There is none, because only a custom-made mouthguard created according to a dentist\u2019s precise measurements will provide full, adequate coverage.<\/p>\n

You deserve the best, and when it comes to protecting your teeth and gums from harm, only a dentist can offer that!<\/p>\n
