Dental Insurance Kids – Sports Dental Injuries
Avoid Sports Dental Injuries and Protect Your Teeth.
Sports like baseball and basketball are high-risk games concerning mouth injuries. Some of the most common dental injuries seen with these sports are broken, displaced, or knocked-out teeth and even broken jaws. With the ever-increasing participation of girls and young women in competitive sports, they are just as likely to have sports injuries as their male counterparts. Everyone should know the risks of dental injuries when playing sports and use additional protective gear. If your child has all their permanent teeth in, then talk to their dentist about having a custom dental guard made. If not, buying an over-the-counter store dental guard would be acceptable for added protection.
