Traumas to the mouth are always difficult, and not always necessarily because of the actual injury, but because it also means a visit to the dentist. One of the most upsetting things to a parent (and to the child) Is an accidental injury in which a child's tooth is chipped or knocked loose. Such injuries are often preventable if a properly fitted mouth guard is worn. Although mouth guards are not mandatory equipment in all sports, their worth is indisputable. As dentists we see too many oral and facial injuries to children and adolescents that might have been prevented by the use of a mouth guard. Even adults are not immune to the dangers of mouth injuries. Dentists treat many trauma injuries in weekend athletes. Fact is, facial injuries in nearly every sport can result in damage to your teeth, lips, cheeks or tongue. A mouth guard is especially impor tant if a person wears fixed dental appliances such as braces or bridgework. Custom made mouth guards are professionally designed by the dentist from a cast model of the individual's teeth. Because they are designed to cover all back teeth and cushion the entire jaw, they can prevent concussions caused by blows to the chin. They fit securely in the mouth and do not interfere with speech or breathing. Although inexpensive, ready made commercial mouth guards made of rubber or polyvinyl can be pur chased at many sporting goods stores, they are the least effective in affording protection. Whether the sport of choice is football, hockey, skiing, cycling, roller blading, skate boarding or baseball; its better to play it safe than face a devastating and painful oral injury. Remember to keep your mouth guard in top shape by rinsing it with water or mouth wash after each use, and allowing it to air dry. With proper care, it should last the length of the season or longer.
