Give Your Athletic Valentine The Perfect Gift This Valentine’s Day

It’s almost Valentine’s Day — the holiday of love!

As you prepare to celebrate your loved ones and show them how much you care, you may want to think about getting them something more personal than overpriced flowers or a simple box of chocolates.

Take the athlete in your life: how can you show them how much you love and care for them? By giving them the gift of protection!

Here’s why a custom mouthguard is the perfect gift for your athletic valentine:

1. Protect Their Smile

You always want to keep your loved ones safe, so why not make sure their pretty faces are protected?

Did you know that athletes, particularly those that play contact sport, have a 33-56% chance of an orofacial injury — an injury to the mouth or face — during their playing career? Did you also know that the lifetime cost to replace just one tooth is approximately $20,000?

With more than five million teeth knocked out annually during sports and recreational activities, the Academy for Sports Dentistry, American Dental Association and National Athletic Trainers’ Association all agree: there is no better way to protect your valentine’s beautiful smile than with the proper protection of a custom mouthguard.

2. An Intimate Fit

So, how does a custom mouthguard protect your loved one? By fitting as intimately and comfortably as your relationship.

Only custom mouthguards are designed and engineered to your athlete’s exact individual mouth structure. That’s what makes them custom!

An intimate fit means a snug fit on your valentine’s upper teeth, tight enough to firmly stay without being held in place with the lower jaw, biting or clenching. They should only be able to remove their mouthguards by pulling it out with their fingers, but won’t need to in order to breathe, speak, drink or give you a kiss.

3. Unique As Your Love

Of course, while protection and comfort are great, nothing shows you really care like something truly unique.

With a completely personalized mouthguard — from color and logo to name and number — your valentine won’t just get a perfectly fitting piece of equipment, but an essential component for completing their game face.

And a custom mouthguard with a their name, number and team logo instantly becomes their most loved piece of gear.

Nothing says “I love you” better than a gift that is intimate, protects and brings joy. Give your loved one the mouthguard that’s right for them!
