Wear a mouthguard at play, to keep the injuries away.
At Drummoyne Dental Practice, we stress the importance of wearing a sports mouthguard when playing sports where the face, jaws and teeth can be injured.
Some functions of a mouthguard are listed below:
- Cushions teeth against impact
- Protects against jaw joint injuries
- Protects against soft tissue injuries
- Helps prevent neck and jaw injuries
- May help reduce concussion
