Team AVSC News

Aspen Smile Dentistry has generously offered to provide custom protective mouth guards at no charge to Team athletes. These mouth guards are designed to protect the teeth as well as help to protect from concussions.* They will be coming to the AVSC campus on Wednesday, October 22, at 4 pm, and Wednesday, Oct. 29 at 4:30pm to take digital scans of athletes who would like to get a mouth guard. 
 
Criteria: 

1. Kids must be 13 and older (Younger kids’ mouths are changing so quickly that they will outgrow them the same season) 
2. If your child got a custom mouth guard last year with the AHS or Junior Hockey program, and it still fits we ask that you do not request another. If you would electively like another, we ask for a $10 replacement fee 
3. If your child has Braces, due to the constant changes of moving teeth we will not be making custom mouth guards. As soon as they are done with braces, we are happy to accommodate a mouth guard at that time.
4. If you would like your child to get a mouth guard, please fill out the attached form and either email it to info@aspensmiledentistry.com or have your child bring it with them to the scan day. 

 
The Aspen Smile Dentistry Team looks forward to working with AVSC this year and for many more years to come.

* In a systematic review in 2019, research showed a high effectiveness in the prevention of orafacial injuries with the use of a custom fit mouth guard and a modest correlation between the use of mouth guards and concussion mitigation.
