Wearing a mouthguard during physical activity will help protect your teeth. By avoiding chewing on tough foods like ice, popcorn kernels, or hard candy, you can greatly reduce the chances of cracking a tooth. Combined with these preventive efforts and refraining from cutting or tearing objects with your teeth, you can minimize your risk of a dental emergency.
Mouthguard prevention is part of Emergency Dentistry at Virginia Dental Care, located at 915 N Quincy St in Arlington, VA.
