FUN MOUTH GUARD FACTS

As the holiday season approaches I wanted to share with you some fun facts

DID YOU KNOW??????

Basketball in the sport that results in the most tooth injuries. An here I thought it was hockey.

80% of dental injuries  in sports happen on the top row of teeth. 

Only 76% of basketball players wear a sport guard. GO RAPTORS GO!!

Chiclets are the nickname that hockey players give their teeth. 

The most common way  hockey players suffer dental injury is not the puck but rather a stick to the face.

So to all you young and old hockey players PLEASE wear a MOUTH GUARD!!!
