Kombat Mouthguards Tells Everyone to Protect their Pearly Whites by Wearing a Mouthguard

(prHWY.com) February 28, 2012 - Naples, FL -- February 2012 - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that over 50 percent of the approximately seven million recreation and sports related injuries that occur annually are sustained by children between the ages of five and 24. A majority of these injuries are also to the face. The Academy of General Dentistry encourages children, teenagers, and young adults who play sports to always wear a protective mouthguard to prevent a serious injury.

According to an employee at Kombat Mouthguard, "Not everyone understands the very serious risks associated with dental-related injuries that can occur in a sport. A mouthguard not only prevents the possibility of knocked out or broken teeth, but also neck injuries, jaw fractures and even cerebral hemorrhage because the lower jaw knocks hard into the upper jaw."

But the effectiveness and need for mouthguards does not end right there. They are also effective in ensuring that soft tissue in the mouth remains separated from the teeth. This inhibits the possibility of bruising and even cuts along the cheeks and lips. It can be especially beneficial to those who are wearing braces as well.

Many dentists recommend getting a custom mouthguard made. "A custom mouthguard provides the best fit and protection, not to mention comfort level as well. It is made taking an impression of the person's teeth," said the employee. "Store bought ones that you boil, bite and wear move around in the mouth and can be uncomfortable. If the mouthguard is not comfortable, a person will not want to wear it, which is why a custom mouthguard is the best option."

Kombat Mouthguards would also like to remind people of the importance of cleaning their mouthguard. Proper cleanliness is required to prevent bacteria from forming and causing infection. Wash the mouthguard with toothpaste a minimum of once a week and keep in a storage case that is well ventilated.
