Mouth guard

Mouth guards are protective, flexible shield and are worn over your teeth during sports and other activities which might involve high risk of impact on face.

They help prevent common dental injuries like chipped, broken or knocked out teeth, broken jaw, and injuries to lips, cheeks, gums, face and tongue.

An ideal #mouthguard is comfortable and tight fit, must allow normal breathing and swallowing, not cause gagging, is odorless and tasteless, allow normal speech and thick enough to provide maximum #protection against an #impact, stay #firm on your teeth, #durable and easy to clean, resilient.

#Stock, #bite and #boil, and #custom #fit are the #basic types of mouth guards available.
