Preventing Tooth Damage and Mouth Injuries While Play Sports

Injuries to teeth and mouth can and do happen.  Approximately 80% of these dental injuries can affect one or more of the front teeth and may cause damage to soft tissues to the tongue, lips, and inner cheeks. Sports injuries are the main source of tooth and mouth injuries in older adolescents and adults

Tips in Preventing Sports-Related Tooth and Mouth Injuries

1) Wear a Mouth Guards: When playing sports, the best way to protect your teeth and mouth is by wearing a mouth guard.

2) Wear Face Cages: This equipment protects against trauma to the face, especially when playing certain sports positions, like baseball catcher or hockey goalie.

3) Wear Helmets: It’s always wise to wear a helmet made for the activity that you are participating in. Although most helmets won’t protect the teeth and mouth, they will protect another important area – your head, to help protect against a brain concussion.
