Sports Mouth Guards
When playing sports or getting involved in other physical activities, there’s always the possibility of someone getting hurt, and that someone can unfortunately be you!
This certainly applies to professional sports athletes who practice and play almost every day but also factors into amateur athletes, and even people who are in weekly recreational sports leagues.
Heck, even people who play beach volleyball in the Summer are at risk of getting hurt in a variety of ways. Mouth and teeth injuries are very common when it comes to playing contact sports or competitive team sports such as hockey, rugby, wrestling, football, and lacrosse.
Protective mouth guards are designed to keep your teeth safe during any sporting activity. It’s highly recommended that anyone playing sports, or being part of recreational activities that involve some risk of injury, get one of these products.

SPORT MOUTH GUARDS
Sports guards are designed to protect the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth and lips depending on the underlying sport.
1. Football mouth guards
Collisions in the football field with other players, the ball or the ground poses serious dental injury risks. In football, mouth guard eliminates risks of suffering from broken, chipped or knocked-out teeth when collisions happen.
2. Boxing mouth guards
Boxers face blows on the face. Without a mouthguard, the lips and teeth wouldn’t be protected from direct blows.
3. Rugby mouthguard
Rugby is also a high-impact sport with a likely impact on the face. A mouthguard protects the teeth as well as lowers soft tissue injury to the lips, cheeks, and tongue. Custom mouth guards can also lower the risk of jaw fractures during impact.
4. Basketball mouthguard
Besides collisions with other basketball players, mouth guards also protect the teeth and soft tissue from possible ball impact on the face.
