Todays article is about mouth guards.
So what happens when you're riding along at 30 or so and take a corner and spill. Lots of things. One thing that happens to be both instinct and accidental is the clashing of your teeth.
Broken and chipped teeth not only hurt, they can cost a bundle of bucks to get fixed. A cap on a tooth can easily cost upwards of $500. Now I know a lot of you out there have dental coverage through work or from parents so you're not worried about the cost. But cost isn't the only concern.
What happens if you lose front teeth? Not only does it hurt, but now you have a gaping hole for the world to see.
But what if it's not the teeth that you injure? What happens if you bite down on your cheek or on your tongue? That can lead to some serious discomfort, especially with eating and drinking.
A quick check and I see that sportmart offers a mouth guard for the simple cost of $4.99 plus taxes. They also come with a $1600 dental warranty. They even have models for people with braces.
There are many different kinds of mouth guards, I'm sure one type is better than another but that is not what this article is about. This article is simply about having one to avoid the issues of mouth injury.
Don't you think $5 is worth saving your teeth and mouth from damage? There really is no excuse for not having one.
