Custom-fitted or ‘boil and bite’ – an open letter to parents
An open letter to parents trying to decide if a custom-fitted mouthguard really is worth it from Wear a Mouthguard founder Dr Caitlin Oakley
Dear parents,
Breakfast, pack lunches, school drop-off, work, basketball training, dinner, dishes, homework, housework, sound familiar? I know how time-poor we parents are!
But I beg you, please take a few minutes to read this blog before choosing to ‘protect’ your child’s precious teeth with an inferior mouthguard from the chemist (as a dentist and parent of two sports-mad kids, I’m seeing too many dental, facial and head injuries in young sports players, injuries that could be avoided with a custom-fitted mouthguard)
