Injuries to the teeth and other oral structures are not uncommon,and these injuries can be prevented or reduced by wearing a mouth guard. Mouth guards may be beneficial inreducing concussions as well. Custom fitted mouth guards offer superior protection to the standard "boil andbite" mouth guards. They are better fitting, easier to speak with, and provide a uniform thickness ensuringsuperior protection of oral structures. Custom fitted mouth guards will last many seasons and provideprotection for years to come.Brian Podbesek, D.D.S., a local dentist and 2003 CCHS alum, has offered his services to the CCHScommunity. He will fabricate custom-fitted athletic mouth guards at cost for CCHS student athletes. Asingle color mouth guard costs $55, and additional colors can be added for $5 per color. Pictures and moreinformation on the mouth guards can be viewed at www.playsafemouthguards.co.uk. Fabrication of themouth guard is a two-step process.
