Protect Your Game With Dental Guards

(Newswire.net — November 23, 2017) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Sports is a great way to exercise, unwind and in some cases learn to work as a team but things can easily take an unexpected turn for the worse, especially in contact sports. Most often headgears and protective pads are worn to safeguard the obvious points of the body yet teeth are typically overlooked. One fly of a puck, one jump of a scrimmage or a fatal blow in a judo match can result is some serious damage to the teeth. Without the protection of a device like the HealthyWiser™ DentoGuard™ mouth guard, also known as a dental protector, you’re playing Russian roulette with your dental health.

“The National Youth Sports Safety Foundation (NYSSF) forecasted that more than three million teeth would be knocked out in youth sporting events yet, in a survey commissioned by the American Association of Orthodontists, 67% of parents admitted that their children do not wear a mouth guard during organized sports,” reports the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. “The NYSSF says that athletes who do not wear mouth guards are 60 times more likely to sustain damage to their teeth.”

The research has been done and proven that dental protection ought to be considered mandatory as the risks iof njury during sports are high. The DentoGuard™ mouth guard helps buffer the jaw during impact and is particularly important to people who wear braces since they have a great risk of encountering dental injuries.

“Mouth guards and other types of protective gear can prevent or reduce injuries that happen during organized and recreational sports,” advises the American Association of Orthodontists. “Mouth guards offer protection by absorbing high-impact energy from potentially traumatic blows”.

There are risks involved in practically every sport but some are certainly more high hazardous than others. Rugby is a brutally high impact sport, so is boxing and the various forms of martial arts, as such wearing a DentoGuard™ mouth guard for extra protection is strongly recommended by dentist.

“About 80 percent of traumatic dental injuries occur to the two front teeth,” reports the Journal of the American Dental Association. “A single traumatic injury to the teeth may never heal completely, and it can create a lifetime of expensive, long-term problems for the affected individual”.

Given easy access to inexpensive, durable and effective mouth guards like the DentoGuard™ by HealthyWiser™ there really isn’t any excuse for not playing safe. The DentoGuard™ is a great way to mitigate high impact blows and prevent unnecessary trips to the dentist.
