Mouth Guard

A mouth guard is a crucial piece of protective equipment used in hockey to protect a player’s teeth, gums, tongue, and jaw from impact. It is typically made from soft, flexible, and durable materials like EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) that absorb shock during collisions with sticks, balls, or other players. Mouth guards reduce the risk of broken or chipped teeth, lip injuries, and even concussions by cushioning the jaw. There are different types available, including boil-and-bite (moldable at home) and custom-fitted versions made by dental professionals. Worn in both training and matches, mouth guards are essential for safety, especially in contact-heavy gameplay.**
