As a parent, I applaud your diligence and care for your kids. But will you tell other parents that they must make their kids wear one?

When you see your kid get kicked in the face playing goalie in soccer, or see your basketball player take an elbow to the chin you will be glad he/she had one in their mouth.
When is the last time that you actually saw a kid take an elbow to the mouth?
Ya know, I was thinking the same thing when I read jdccpa's post. Not saying I've never seen a kid take one in the chops, not saying I've never seen *some* blood in a players mouth, just saying I've never seen any more mouth damage than a kid might sustain in ordinary daily life.

BTW, I've heard of the occasional player getting cold-cocked, no mouth guard is going to protect against that.
