Mouthguards
(NAPSI)-Playing sports is often about winning and losing. But losing should not include your teeth. Fortunately, mouthguards can help an athlete avoid becoming part of the statistics on sports-related injuries, which are nothing to smile about. Did you know? • More than five million teeth are knocked out each year through sports injury, accident or play. • Athletes are 60 times more likely to suffer damage to the mouth when not wearing a mouthguard. • Mouthguard use prevents approximately 200,000 oral-facial injuries each year. • The cost to repair a knocked out tooth and follow-up care can be thousands of dollars-many times greater than a mouthguard.
