Anybody who is an athlete should be wearing a mouth guard to protect their teeth and jaw from serious damage. Mouth guards are designed to keep your teeth and jaw protected from physical contact such as getting hit with a ball and contact from another player.
Mouth guards are customized to fit the patient’s mouths and ensure maximum protection when being active. Everybody has seen the generic mouth guards sold at sporting goods stores, but those aren’t designed to fit individual athlete’s mouths and are usually made of cheap materials and offer little protection. Mouth guards should fit specifically to each patient’s mouth and the best way to get your mouth guard is at your dentist.
No matter how old the athlete a mouth guard is crucial in keeping your teeth and mouth intact. It is important to protect against structural damage to your teeth and jaw as well as injuries lacerations to your cheeks, tongue, and lips. Mouth guards have also been shown to help decrease the risk of concussions which is another reason why they are a must for all athletes.
