One out of three boys and one out of four girls will
experience a dental injury by the time they finish high
school.
An Illinois hospital study says that almost 10 percent of
all dental injuries are sports related. In collision sports, such
as football, hockey and boxing, the risk of injury is
obvious. Athletes who participate in these sports are

sports such as basketball, baseball, softball, wrestling,
soccer and volleyball, protective mouth gear is not mandatory and there appears
to be little awareness of the risks of dental injury.
Almost 12 percent of male athletes between ages 12 and 18 reported oral
injuries, 32 percent of those were associated with football, 21-1/2 percent with
basketball, 18-1 /2 percent with baseball. In a survey of 1,020 Florida high school
varsity basketball players, 33 percent reported sustaining at least one oral-facial
injury during a season. Of all basketball injuries, 34 percent were oral-facial.
Using mouthguards reduces injuries. Before mandatory oral-facial protection
in football (1962), 50 percent of all injuries in football were oral-facial. After
required use of protection, only 3 percent of football injuries were oral-facial. It is
estimated that more than 200,000 oral-facial injuries are prevented each year
because of mandatory wear in football. Properly fitted mouthguards reduce the
rate of dental and jaw injuries during sports.
Voluntary use of mouthguards in sports is rare and shows no signs of
improving. Ninety-five percent of coaches said they believe mouthguards prevent
oral injuries, but only 16 percent required mouthguard use in sports other than
football. Mouthguards help prevent injuries and should be used by all athletes _
that are in contact sports without exception, including those wearing braces.
