You can lessen the threat of an injury to the mouth during sports play by using a sports mouth guard.  You can purchase these guards at any sporting goods store or have one specially made for you by your dentist.  The over the counter mouth guards are easy to custom fit to your mouth and should last all season.  Once you remove the guard from its package, you submerse it into a pan of boiling water for around 30 seconds.  After removing the mouth guard from the pan, place it inside of your mouth and clench your teeth tight (your mouth will not get burned).  Hold it in place for about 2 minutes.  Once you are done, rinse it in cold water and you’re ready to play ball!
