Mouth Guards Can Save Your Teeth and Preserve Your Smile

If you play sports, you always run the risk of getting injured.  It’s not uncommon for athletes to get their teeth knocked out.  According to the American Dental Association, they estimate that nearly 2 million teeth are knocked out each year due to sports related trauma.  If you play sports, you should consider getting a mouth guard to protect your teeth.

Most people who get mouth guards get the boil and bite type they can pick up at local sporting-goods stores.  Many times, these types of guards are bulky and uncomfortable.  This leads to you not getting the best protection you possibly could get.
