Sports dentistry and sports mouthguards were not conceived just for competitive athletes, but for everyone who enjoys physical activity in which traumatic impact to the face and mouth may occur.
Dental injuries sustained during athletic activity can be painful, potentially disfiguring and costly to treat. Injuries can occur during team or individual sports, regardless of whether they’re full-contact, low-contact or noncontact.
Among the most common sports dental injuries are:
- Broken teeth
- Fractured teeth
- Lost teeth
- Jaw fractures
- Upper-arch fractures
- Tongue, lip and cheek injuries
- Gum damage
