Anyone who participates in an activity that has a risk of injury to the mouth should wear a mouth guard.
Most commonly used in contact sports – ice hockey, soccer, football and lacrosse for example – mouth guards are coverings worn over the teeth to protect the player from dental injury. Parents may also consider having their child wear a mouth guard for sports like gymnastics, figure skating and basketball, all of which have a high chance of facial injury from falls or contact with equipment.
Generally, mouth guards are designed to cover the top teeth only, but many manufacturers have models that accommodate braces and other lower teeth appliances.
