Mouth Guards for Sports and Athletes

What are mouth guards?

Mouth guards are an essential piece of equipment for athletes participating in high-impact sports such as football, basketball, and hockey.

What do mouth guards help with?

They serve to protect the teeth, gums, and jaw from injury during athletic competition. The first line of defense in a mouth guard is its outer layer, which is made of a soft, flexible material that absorbs the shock of a hit or impact.

This layer helps to reduce the force of the impact and prevent injury to the teeth and gums. The second layer, usually made of a harder material, helps to distribute the force evenly across the mouth guard, reducing the risk of injury to a single tooth or area of the mouth.

In conclusion, mouth guards are a critical piece of equipment for athletes participating in high-impact sports. They protect the teeth, gums, and jaw from injury.
