Don't let your little athlete knock a tooth out!

Did you know that about 5 million teeth are knocked out each year in the United States alone? Sports can be dangerous without the proper protection. Custom made sports mouthguards fit well, protect well, and can be worn for any sport, including soccer, baseball and basketball. Mouthguards found in the store just don’t very well. Wearing these, how can you breathe while running during soccer or basketball? You can’t.

Protection during sporting events is of special interest to Dr. Firouzi. This is why he provides these mouthguards to all the athletes in his practice. Don’t take a chance with your child’s teeth. We’re anxious to help. Contact our Pittsburgh dental office today
