Interesting...

I was just talking to a Doctor today about this. He highly recommends mouthguards for athletes in any sport that has a potential for contact.
Not just for the obvious dental concerns...but, to cut down on the possibility of concussions.

BTW, the reason I had a conversation with the good Doctor was because my son was seeing him for a referral to a good oral surgeon. He wasn't wearing a mouthguard when he made contact with his head (with helmet on) and his dirtbike handlebars while racing MX.
He goes in for a root canal tomorrow.
