Here are 3 benefits of wearing a mouthguard for contact sports

Posted on 2/6/2023 by Bryan Neu

If you are involved in contact sports, you can likely get injured. One of the common injuries for people in contact sports involves the mouth. Many times, you can get a facial blow that hurts your gums and teeth getting your tooth knocked out in the process. You, therefore, need to put in measures that will prevent you from having a tooth knocked out. Mouthguards are an effective option when it comes to protecting your teeth and gums when you are on the field representing your team.

Protects Your Teeth and Gums

Mouthguards are designed in such a way that they can absorb any impact on your teeth and gums. You will therefore be secured against tooth loss. When you come to our clinic, we will custom make your mouthguard to ensure that it fits perfectly to perform its function effectively. You will also be able to shield the jawbone structure from damage when you wear a mouthguard while playing.

Reduces Chances of Concussion

When you get a facial blow, the pain and impact can cause a concussion. Since mouthguards cushion you from the impacts of a huge blow, you will be able to avoid a concussion.

Prevents Teeth Grinding

The efforts required to engage in a contact sport can cause you to grind your teeth together. Grinding of teeth can lead to cracking and chipping of teeth. A mouthguard prevents teeth from touching and in this way reduces the chances of grinding your teeth.
