The National Youth Sports Safety Foundation, Inc. reports dental injuries are the most common type of orofacial injury sustained during participation in sports. Victims of total tooth avulsions may face lifetime dental costs of $10,000 - $15,000 per tooth, hours in the dentist's chair, and the possible development of other dental problems such as periodontal disease.

How can you provide athletes with the protection they need in a cost-effective way for both you and your patients? New HotShok™ sports guards from Keller:

• Take a PVS impression in 5 minutes during a regular hygiene appointment.
• Mail the impression with the HotShok Rx using a Keller postage-paid padded mailer.
• Keller mails the custom HotShok sports guard directly to your patient.

• For easier talking and breathing, HotShok sports guards incorporate a single layer on the lingual of the teeth and palate. Same protection, but easier to talk and breathe.
• Comfort Design Option offers additional patient comfort and greater compliance by extending only to the first molars. (not recommended for concussion-prone athletes)

• This one-appointment custom sports guard can be sent directly to your patient, requiring only one appointment, often just a part of a routine check-up.

• High heat and pressure processing create the most precise fitting sports guard.

• Superior material. PolyShoK™, provides greater protection than other guards.
• Thicker is better. HotShok guards are thicker than most OTC boil-and-bite guards and come in three different styles to meet the needs of your patient.

• Fun to wear, and can match team colors
