What Benefits Can Mouth Guards Provide?

Although your teeth and gums are highly effective at chewing food, they are relatively weak in regard to environmental factors. Even your strongest teeth can be easily knocked out due to a single blow to the facial area.

What benefit can mouth guards provide? For that answer and others, here are a few tips about mouth guards:

– Mouth guards prevent oral accidents and injuries from severely injuring your smile, including dental damage and tooth loss.
– If you are playing a contact sport or similar high-risk activity, it is vital to wear the necessary safety equipment, such as mouth guards, to protect your oral health.
– Make an effort to take care of your mouth guards so they are not bent out of shape or severely contaminated with bacteria.
– There are different types of mouth guards including custom-bite guards, boil-and-bite guards, and one-size-fits-all guards, the last of which is the only one that will not be tailored to your specific bite impression.
