Tips to Prevent Sports-Related Tooth and Mouth Injuries

Mouth Guards: When playing sports, the best way to protect your teeth and mouth is by wearing a mouth guard.

Face cages: This equipment protects against trauma to the face, especially when playing certain sports positions, like baseball catcher or hockey goalie.

Helmets: It's always wise to wear a helmet made for the activity that you are participating in. Although most helmets won't protect the teeth and mouth, they will protect another important area – your head, to help protect against a brain concussion.
