Protecting Your Smile
When preparing for sports practice or a game, athletes prioritize their uniforms, helmets, and pads for protection. However, neglecting a sports mouth guard is a crucial safeguard for your oral health. Each year, between 13-39% of dental injuries occur during sports activities. Mandatory in American football, mouth guards prevent approximately 200,000 mouth and teeth injuries annually.
Nevertheless, contact sports like football and hockey aren’t the only culprits. Recent studies highlight basketball as a sport where players face significant risks of facial, mouth, and dental injuries, primarily from contact with equipment and surfaces like the ball, court, and hoop. Despite these risks, mouthguards are not universally required by schools or teams for basketball and similar sports.
