Why get a sportsguard?
Dental injuries are the most
common type of orofacial injury sustained during participation in
sports, the majority of these injuries are
preventable.
More than
5 million teeth are
knocked out each year during sports activities.
An athlete is
sixty times more
likely to sustain damage to the teeth when not wearing a protective
mouthguard.
The cost of a fractured tooth is
many times
greater than the cost of a dentist diagnosed and designed professionally
made mouthguard.
Every
athlete involved in contact
sport has about 10% chance
per season of an orofacial injury or a
35-56% chance during
an athletic career.
A properly fitted mouthguard reduces the chance of
sustaining a concussion from a blow to the jaw.
