Protecting Your Smile
Dentist Carmel
When gearing up for sports practice or a game, you wouldn’t go without your uniform or protective gear like a helmet and pads in contact sports such as football or hockey. Yet, overlooking a sports mouth guard leaves a critical gap in your protection against dental injuries. Statistics show that 13-39% of dental injuries annually occur during sports activities, and mandating mouth guards in American football alone has prevented approximately 200,000 mouth and teeth injuries yearly. Even non-contact sports like basketball pose significant risks to facial and dental injuries from the ball, ground, or hoop. Despite their proven benefits, mouth guards are not universally required in many schools or teams. Ensure your safety with a custom-fit sports mouth guard from Dr. Gagandeep Bath to safeguard your teeth during play.
