03/04/2008 : CHILDREN and adults run the risk of serious facial injuries when playing sport without a mouthguard, according to the Australian Dental Association
http://www.guardkit.com/en/03/04/2008 : You can actually see Rob's tooth in the air in photos of the scene, Fox said. It's one of those, somebody gets hit in the mouth, it makes your own tooth hurt. It was a little scary, but obviously we will have to be careful about that. Wooten will wear a mouthguard to protect the tooth from dirt, and will have it repaired Tuesday, Fox said.
http://www.guardkit.com/en/03/04/2008 : Athletes are 60 times more likely to suffer damage to the mouth when not wearing a mouthguard, which prevent approximately 200,000 injuries to the face and mouth each year.
http://www.guardkit.com/en/03/04/2008 : A mouthguard is a device that fits into the mouth over one or both arches of teeth to protect against injury during contact sports.
http://www.guardkit.com/en/03/04/2008 : As the name implies, mouthguards help prevent injury to the mouth area, especially to the teeth, lips, cheeks, and tongue. Even athletes who use helmets or face masks should wear mouthguards, since they also protect against head and neck injuries by cushioning blows that could otherwise cause concussions or jaw fractures.
http://www.guardkit.com/en/03/04/2008 : More than five million teeth are knocked out each year through sports injury, accident, or play.
