A split lip will heal but broken
teeth won’t. Did you know that teeth are the least able
part of the human body to repair themselves after an injury?
The dental treatment required to repair damaged teeth or replace
missing teeth is both time consuming and expensive.
If
you or your child participates in any kind of physical sport
there’s a risk of dental damage. Mouthguards
(sometimes known as gum shields) are like the crash helmets of
teeth and are almost universally worn in contact sports such as: |
- Boxing
- Rugby
- Hockey
- Lacrosse
- Martial Arts
- and American Football.
.. and increasingly by professionals and
other serious players in:
- Horse Eventing and Polo
- Squash
- Ice Hockey
- Volleyball!
- ... and even Water Polo!

| Being accidentally caught in the face by a squash
racket or lacrosse stick, or falling awkwardly across showjumping
poles, can cause more damage to the teeth than any blow from
a boxing glove. That’s why PLAYSAFE mouthguards are worn
not just by members of the England Rugby team, but also by the
All England Woman’s Lacrosse team. In the case of Lacrosse,
mouthguards may soon be compulsory at club level |
Injury to mouth caused by an elbow... |
It is important that mouthguards are always worn by children
who wear a fixed brace as a blow to the face can cause lacerations
to the soft tissues of the inside of the mouth if they come into
contact with the wirework of the brace.

PLAYSAFE MOUTHGUARDS are the
answer.
They’re made in a similar fashion to laminated windscreens
being made from layers of soft and flexible high impact absorbing
polymers which support the teeth and protect the gums. They’re
individually moulded to casts of the players teeth, so that they
fit securely. The secure fit means they don’t move and will
not restrict breathing or speaking.
How you feel affects the way you play. Many players report that
PLAYSAFE’s firm fit and zingy colours make them feel good
during a game; and the boost to confidence caused by better face
protection gives them that vital aggressive edge - within the rules,
of course!
