‼️ WHY MOUTHGUARDS ARE IMPORTANT ‼️
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), athletes who do not wear a mouthguard are 60 times more likely to suffer damage to their teeth.
Key Reasons Mouthguards Are Important:
🦷 Shock Absorption: They absorb and redistribute impact forces from hits to the face.
🦷 Tooth Protection: They prevent traumatic dental injuries.
🦷 Soft Tissue Defense: They create a smooth barrier over the teeth that shields the lips, inner cheeks, tongue, and gums.
🦷 Concussion Reduction: While not a primary helmet replacement, a well-fitted mouthguard helps buffer shock transmitted through the lower jaw toward the skull, contributing to a lower risk of concussions.
🦷 Protection for Orthodontics: For athletes with braces or retainers, a mouthguard prevents the metal brackets from cutting into the soft interior of the mouth upon impact.
