Sports Guard


 

Why is a mouth guard important?

The American Dental Association estimates an average of over 200,000 sports injuries to the mouth is prevented due to sports mouth guards. Mouth guards, also called mouth protectors, help cushion a blow to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face or jaw. They typically cover the upper teeth and are a great way to protect the soft tissues of the tongue, lips and cheek lining. Knowing how to prevent injuries like these is especially important when participating in organized sports or other recreational activities.

 

Sports Mouth Guard Benefits

When it comes to protecting the oral cavity, a mouth guard is an essential piece of athletic gear that should be part of the sports enthusiasts’ standard equipment from an early age. In fact, studies show that athletes are 60 times more likely to suffer harm to the teeth if they’re not wearing a mouth guard. Center for Implant & Esthetic Dentistry specializes in customized sports mouth guards. Customized to protect both the upper and lower teeth, statistics show that when worn properly, a protective mouthpiece decreases the risk of oral injury by 99 percent allowing the avid sportsman or woman to enjoy their recreational activities.
