Wear your mouthguards 24/7!

I feel like people should be warned before clicking on that link, That picture is fucking GNARLY. I may just start wearing my mouth guard, It's a baller one too that the dentist made custom for me.
 
this is also a very large benefit of wearing one. it saves your teeth and your brain. i wear mine mainly to prevent concussions.
 
Hot water mold-able ones are like $10 at Sports Authority. But you have to wear them for them to be effective.

Last Jan I bit my tongue almost in half landing hard off a 25' foot cliff: mouthgaurd in pocket. I still have a slit in my tongue from it over a year ago.
 
I would, but this safety precaution prevents me from impairing myself with alcohol and marijuana cigarettes.
 
definitely going to get me one, just chipped 5 teeth a few weekends back on a drop, same sort of deal with my knee to my chin. 3 of my teeth were half missing so it kind of sucked.
 
Help saves your teeth and face!

fine maybe ill wear mine more. i pretty much only use it on bigger park jumps, cliffs/big mtn and moguls anyway. i chipped a molar last year in a mogul training run. forgot just once. my parents wanted me to wear my guard every time i started going downhill. when i told them they were retarded (not literally) they threatened to end my season
 
Dammmnnn, I was just thinking about that the other day when I chomped my tongue a little, your shit got fucked up, hope the recoveries quick.
 
damn thats crazy man, did you get some fake teeth? i got a buddy who chipped his tooth and they replaced it with a fake one but its not gold or anything, its white and looks the same as the old one haha
 
last year i came short flipping and bit my whole lower lip off my mouth, it was literaly hanging off my mouth. haha id go nuts wearing a mouth guard though
 
yeah they do, if boxers didn't wear mouth guards they would be knocked out in the first round every time. When your jaw gets nailed into your upper teeth without a mouth guard it makes a whiplash sort of effect and you get a concussion.
 
Mouthguards do a ton to prevent concussions. thats the main reason why people wear them in football, as well as protecting their teeth.
 
a concussion is a head injury ,a mouthguard (gumshield) would do nothing to prevent a concussion blow.A mouthguard can only reduce the impact to teeth by distributing the impact waves across the surface area of the mouthguard and helping lock the teeth inline to let all the teeth take the impact instead of a single or couple of teeth.
I play as a goalkeeper for my university team and ive been concussed with a blow to the face with a football at point blank range.
 
Really, you got hit in the face and your mouthguard didn't stop you from getting a concussion? No shit man. Anyways, mouthguards do protect you from a concussion when your mouth gets slammed shut. Like I said before, 1 uppercut punch in a boxing ring without a mouthguard would knock somebody out cold, because it stops your jaw from railing your upper teeth. Think about it like 2 pool balls, when the moving one hits the one sitting still, the first ball stops and the second one picks up all of its kinetic energy. If you put rubber between the two, the effect would be much smaller. It is just like that, except your brain is in the middle of the second ball.
