Dr. William P. Caldon, D.M.D., co-owner of Plattsburgh’s High Peaks Dental, discusses how a mouthguard is essential for athletes to avoid mouth injuries.

Plattsburgh, NY — August 4, 2016 — Renowned Plattsburgh dentist Dr. William Caldon published a new blog post entitled “Athletes Should Wear a Mouthguard to Keep That Winning Smile.” In the post, he discusses the types of mouthguards available for athletes and the importance of wearing one.  

Says Caldon, “Since over 30 percent of all dental injuries are sports related, a quality mouthguard is one way you can decrease the chances of a trip to the emergency room for yourself or a child. Think of it as an essential part of the uniform, just like a football helmet or baseball glove.”

Dr. Caldon has been a co-owner of High Peaks Dental since 1996 after serving in the

United States Air Force for 20 years and retiring as a Colonel. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville and his Bachelor’s from Thomas More College. In 2013, USA Today featured Caldon as one of America’s Premier Dentists.
