An Illinois hospital study says that almost 10% 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
required to wear protective gear. However, in contact 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.

Using mouth guards reduces injuries. Before mandatory oral-facial
protection in football (1962) 50% of all injuries in football were oral-
facial. After required use of protection, only 3% of football injuries were
oral-facial. It is estimated that more than 200,000 oral-facial injuries are
prevented each year because of mandatory mouth guard wear in football.
Properly fi tted mouthguards reduce the rate of dental
and jaw injuries during sports.

Mouth guards help prevent injuries and should be used by all athletes that
are in contact sports without exception, including those wearing braces.
