According to the American Dental Association, more than 5 million teeth are knocked out each year - many during sports activities. In addition, approximately 450,000 emergency room visits each year are due to sports-related injuries to the mouth and face. These injuries include concussions; lacerations to the lips, cheeks, tongue and gums; fractures of the teeth; fracture of the bone directly supporting the teeth; displaced teeth; complete loss of teeth; complete jaw fracture and temporomandibular joint problems (tmj). More than $500 million are spent each year on replacing lost teeth due to trauma from sports. A mouth guard is an important factor in the prevention of all these injuries.
The American Dental Association estimates that mouth guards prevent approximately 200,000 dental injuries each year in high school and collegiate football alone.
