Meet Dr. Portnoy and Learn About Performance Enhancing Mouthguards

Athletic mouthguards play a crucial role in protecting athletes from potential injuries during sports. These devices are worn over the teeth and gums to cushion the impact of blows to the face, which are common in high-contact sports. One of the primary functions of a mouthguard is to reduce the risk of dental injuries, from chipped teeth to tooth loss.

Beyond safeguarding the teeth, mouthguards also help protect the jaw, lips and gums from cuts, bruises, or abrasions that could occur during physical contact. They also reduce the likelihood of more serious injuries like concussions. When the athlete's head is struck, the mouthguard helps absorb and disperse the force. Studies have shown the athletes who wear mouthguards are less likely to suffer severe concussions, making them an essential piece of equipment for safety.
