Dental Tip of the Day: Facial and head injuries can be sustained in nearly every sport. Damage to the teeth, lips, tongue and jaws are frequent occurrences in both children and adults. Mouthguards definitely help prevent these injuries and although more research is needed, mouthguards may also help prevent serious injuries such as concussions. While mouthguards are not required equipment in many sports, wearing one is an important precaution for athletes of any age and ability. If you play a sport, especially a "contact" sport, look into getting a mouthguard. Take care of those pearly whites!
