Mouth Guards
- visiting Dentist Sat 11th Sept
As
we all know, the wearing of mouth guards in sports such of rugby is
a paramount safety issue.
There is some evidence suggesting that
custom-made mouth guards are superior to the normal boil-and bite
models. Another study however, found no difference between the two
types of mouth guards. Either way, most of
the scientific studies done concluded
that players wearing any type of mouth guard had
a reduced incidence of fractured teeth and head acceleration,
compared to players not using mouth guards.
The risk of sustaining orofacial injuries is approximately 1.6 –
1.9 times higher when players do not wear
mouth guards. So, whatever
your preference, we have a visiting dentist at the clubhouse from
10am on 11th Sept to advise and take castings for
custom-made mouth guards. Pay a visit and discuss what’s best for
your child.
