A 2013 report by CBC News indicated that 1,239,000 Canadians aged 15 and older play ice hockey, and the sport is second only to golf for adults. Part of the appeal stems from hockey’s nickname, “the fastest game on earth.” The action is non-stop, which leads to bumps, bangs, and bruises from ice, sticks, skate blades, and pucks. Despite protective face masks, hockey is notorious for dental injuries. A Custom fit sports mouthguard from Burloak Centre Dentistry in Oakville, ON can save smiles.
Reasons to wear a mouthguard
- Most teams, from Mini Mites to Seniors require mouthguards.
- The smallest piece of equipment, easy to insert and wear, can prevent big injuries.
- A mouthguard that fits correctly nearly eliminates risk of tooth loss, and minimizes breakage. It lessens the chance of jaw fractures, and lacerations to the lips, tongue, and soft tissues.
- Mouthguards may absorb enough force to reduce risk of concussion.
