Dentists and orthodontists advocate the mandatory wearing of mouthguards for school children when participating in a contact sport.
If a child is injured during a sports game, it is likely that they will not be covered by a dental insurance plan if they are not using mouth protection in the form of a mouthguard.
Understanding the importance of dental safety, the RFU state that mouthguards are a compulsory piece of equipment for all participants above school level including County, Division and England Representative Squads, however there are still a number of competitors who are unaware of the significance of mouthguards.
Recent studies have shown that 13-39% of all dental injuries are sports related and 25% of children in the UK will injure or lose a tooth while playing sports, underlining the value of wearing mouthguards during sporting activities.
