Mouth guard

A mouthguard is a protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips and gums. An effective mouthguard is like a crash helmet for teeth and jaws. A sports mouth guard forms a protective layer over the upper teeth, reducing your risk of injury. For example, a mouth guard may help you avoid knocking out a tooth if you're tackled on the football field.
