Knocked out, chipped or cracked teeth can be very hard to repair and excruciatingly painful. It may need several visits to the dentist and further cosmetic procedures over several years to repair the broken tooth.

Nearly half of dental injuries occur while playing sports, especially high physical risk sports like rugby and skiing.
As well as being physically damaging, treatments for dental injuries can be very costly and need regular maintenance. Dentists will usually be able to repair most of the damage but there is a cheaper alternative.

Dentists will be able to take a mold of your teeth and construct a mouth guard that can offer the maximum degree of protection.

When it comes to dental injuries, the importance of prevention over cure can not be overestimated. A few minutes and pounds spent having a mouth guard professionally fitted could save thousands of pounds and a lifetime of cosmetic dental surgery. When you look at it like that a mouth guard really is the only sensible option.
