Football, basketball, cricket, hockey, martial arts – in sab games me elbow, ball, ya ground ke saath sudden impact common hota hai. Ek unlucky hit se chipped teeth, knocked-out tooth, lip cuts, ya jaw injury ho sakti hai. Yahin sports mouthguard ka role aata hai.
Mouthguard basically ek cushion jaisa hota hai jo upper teeth aur soft tissues ko cover karta hai. Impact ke time force ko spread kar deta hai, jisse fracture, breakage, ya soft tissue cuts ka risk kam ho jata hai. Ye especially braces wale kids ke liye zaroori hai, kyunki brackets aur wires direct impact me lips ko badly cut kar sakte hain.
Market me ready-made “boil and bite” guards milte hain jo home pe fit kiye ja sakte hain. Ye budget-friendly aur quick solution hote hain, lekin fit perfect nahi hota, especially unique jaw shapes me. Dentist-made custom mouthguards zyada snug, comfortable aur speech/breathing-friendly hote hain – serious players often ye choose karte hain.
Parents ko yeh guard helmet, pads, aur shoes ki tarah he protective gear ka part treat karna chahiye, optional luxury nahi. Ek tootey hue tooth ka lifelong treatment (root canal, crown, implants) guard ke cost se bohot zyada mehenga, time-taking aur emotionally stressful hota hai.
