Course Number: 127

Summary

With the many sports that children play, such as soccer, basketball, football, baseball, and all kinds of skating, it is recommended that dentists fabricate mouthguards for all patients – especially children who participate in organized and unorganized sports. Dentistry should be working diligently to require mandatory use of mouthguards in all sports, which starts at the local and state levels.
