Mouthguards


According to the Academy of General Dentistry:
•Almost one-third of all dental injuries are due to sports-related accidents;
• During a single athletic season athletes have a 10% chance of suffering a facial or dental injury;
•An athlete is 60 times more likely to sustain damage to teeth when not wearing a mouthguard;
• The total rehabilitation cost for a single knocked-out tooth are more than 20 times the cost of a quality professional mouthguard --and lifetime dental rehabilitation costs can exceed $15,000 per lost tooth.
