Can a mouth guard protect my teeth?
Protect your teeth with a mouth guard!
We have many sporty patients at Bales Orthodontics and we want to make sure our important people protect those teeth while engaging in their favorite activity. The Bales Team ask our patients to wear mouth guards during most sporting activities to avoid a trauma from a flying ball or elbow. We urge our young athletes to play it safe when out on the field. Here are a few ways to ensure your mouth’s safety this year, courtesy of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists:
1. Wear mouth guards for contact sports such as basketball, wrestling and hockey
2. Wear a helmet
3. Wear protective eyewear
4. Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin
5. Be alert, even as a spectator
Well, contact sports like basketball, boxing and taekwondo can be physical and dangerous. One wrong move and you can easily lose a couple of your teeth. Sporting a mouth guard can protect your teeth from chipping or falling. Well, it's better to be prepared and protected.

Whats the name of the mouth guard
DeleteMouth guards are highly recommended, especially in contact sports. A punch in a boxing match or an elbow blow in a wrestling match can make someone lose his or her teeth. Be careful and use one of these when playing such games.

Yes because mouth guards are coverings worn over teeth, and often used to protect teeth from injury from teeth grinding and during sports.
