Protect Your Teeth and Support Belmont Athletics to Boot

High and Middle School students can help Belmont Boosters Club support sports in town.

Protect your teeth and at the same time help support Belmont athletics.

Dr. Michael Pellegrini is offering any Belmont High School and Chenery Middle School athlete a custom mouthguard with all proceeds from this campaign being donated to the Belmont Boosters Club. 

The cost of the mouthguard is $50.

The custom mouthguard provides better protection and is more comfortable that a stock or "boil and bite" appliance.  Show your team spirit by wearing a maroon mouthguard personalized with your name and number or only a capital "B" representing the Belmont Marauders.

Simple to make and easy to wear, a mouthguard is essential in preventing damage to your smile. A properly fitted mouthguard can help buffer an impact or blow that otherwise could cause fractured teeth, loss of teeth, jaw injuries, lacerations or cuts to your tongue, lips and face. Mouthguards may also reduce the rate and severity of concussions.

Note that mouthguards can't be made if you are in orthodontic treatment.
