Skateboard Equipment
Before you go skateboarding you need skateboard equipment. Therefore, the Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™ sports mouthguard should be high on your list. There are many mouthguards on the market today. After reading the information below, we are sure you will agree that the Kid's Comfort PRO™ is the best.
There are many features that will distinguish the Kid's Comfort PRO™ sports mouthguard from other mouthguards. A comfortable, effective sports mouthguard is a key element when selecting skateboard equipment. Most would say it is a critical component of the selection process.
Choosing the best skateboard mouthguard can be confusing. With the following information, our goal is to clarify the differences between sports mouthguards so you can make an informed choice on this important oral protective appliance.
The Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™ mouthguard has these outstanding features:
-
- Concussion reduction - This is an important, but controversial subject. There are no clinical trials to support the statement that a sports mouthguard will protect against concussions. One theory is that a mouthguard should dissipate and/or absorb the force of an upward blow to the jaw. It should be approximately 4mm in thickness on the occlusal surface. The Kid's Comfort PRO™ has all these properties. In addition, cushioning between upper and lower teeth can be effective at reducing the incidence or severity of concussions.
- Worn over dental braces - Does not counteract an orthodontist's technically and precisely planned movement. Therefore, preserving corrections and adjustments your orthodontist has scheduled.
- Protects both upper and lower teeth - Why wear a mouth guard that only protects half of your teeth? Our unique design protects both upper and lower teeth at the same time.
- Allows open-mouth breathing - As a result of the natural spring hinge on the Kid's Comfort PRO™ sports mouthguard allows open-mouth breathing and understandable speech.
- Comfortable to wear - The soft and pliable, yet strong and tough materials make the Kid's Comfort Pro sports mouthguard comfortable to wear. Athletes tend to wear it more consistently than other skateboard mouthguards.
- Virtually indestructible -Athletes tend to chew down the ends of commonly used hard plastic mouthguards, as a result, coaches and trainers are unable to determine if the mouthguard is now offering protection. Kid's Comfort Pro mouthguards are virtually impossible to chew through. Because of its comfort, most are not tempted to remove it intermittently and therefore do not even try to chew it.
- Latex and BPA free
- Made in the USA - With FDA approved materials.
The Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™ does not fall into the standard three mouth guard category types listed below:
- Stock mouth guards: Inexpensive and usually purchased at most sporting goods stores. In most cases, you can not wear this mouthguard with braces. They only cover the upper teeth and are usually bulky and make breathing difficult. They provide very little to no protection. Therefore, dentists typically do not recommend their use.
- Boil and bite mouth guard: Can be purchased inexpensively at most sporting goods stores. Made of a thermoplastic material that you place in boiling water, then shape around teeth with your fingers. In most cases can not be worn with braces. They cover the upper teeth only and are usually bulky and uncomfortable. kids tend to chew the ends down which eliminates any cushioning benefit.
- Custom fit mouth guard: Usually purchased from your Dentist, they are expensive and typically cost $300.00 and up. Consequently, in order to protect both upper and lower teeth, you will need to purchase two custom fit guards.
