What sports do you recommend mouth guards for?

ANY COLLISION OR CONTACT SPORTS REQUIRE THE USE OF AN ATHLETIC GUARD/ MOUTH GUARD.

Some examples of high-risk sports include:

  • Boxing
  • Basketball
  • Football

ATHLETIC GUARD USE CAN BE BENEFICIAL FOR OTHER NON-CONTACT SPORTS SUCH AS GYMNASTICS AND SKATING.

On a national level, all states generally mandate mouth guard use in high school:
