The use of the mouth guard will keep the teeth protected from any direct impact. A mouth guard is a solution that will always work while playing sports. Concussions Can Be PreventedWith sports injuries, the injury that is often seen is a concussion. Thus, it goes without saying that a mouth guard may be able to help alleviate how often this injury type is experienced. The reason behind it is that the mouth guard is able to absorb a high amount of shock without the jaw moving much. Decreases The Chance Of Teeth Coming OutWhen teeth are hit hard, there is a high chance that they will be broken in some way. The bad part is that teeth can also come out from a hit. When a mouth guard is worn, a hit can be absorbed and the effect can be decreased significantly. Lessens The Damage Sustained To Soft TissueWith damage being caused to the teeth, the soft tissue can also be damaged if a mouth guard is not worn. When soft tissue is heavily damaged, the athlete may need surgery. When a minor injury happens by biting the cheek or tongue, it could have been prevented by wearing a mouth guard. A custom mouth guard will easily prevent injury to soft tissue when it is custom fit. The custom-fit mouth guard is placed on the top teeth, which helps prevent the teeth from biting hard on the inside of the mouth. If the soft tissue is sustained then it will likely involve stitches in order to help close the injury.
