TEETH GUARDS By Annabelle Carter-Short
S
ports is a physical activity where coming in contact with fellow sportspeople is inevitable. It's vital to ensure the safety of every sportsperson each time they play games. Dental damage is one of the most significant sports injuries and among the most expensive to treat.
Anyone can suffer dental injuries during sports activities; that's why people should always have teeth guards during sports. Below, we examine some points to know about teeth guards. Let's find out together.
A teeth guard protects you from dental injuries in a sporting activity. You should attach the same importance that to a teeth guard you give to any other sporting gear you must wear before going into your field of play.
Teeth guards are devices made for oral use. They're manufactured from soft plastics. The aim of using one is to protect your gums and teeth from sports injuries. You may consider them as "crash helmets" for jaws and teeth during sports.
You can think of a teeth guard the same way a soccer player would not consider going in for a game without his shin guards, or a cricket player without his thigh, arm or chest guard, or helmet.
