Guarding your gob in the City of Leeds

Saturday, August 17th, 2013

373639_blogIf you want to kick back and let your hair down after a hard week in the city of Leeds, getting sporty is a good way of going about it; contact sports are even better for letting out a week’s pent-up aggression. But if you like getting physical with your opponents, then you need to take precautions and getting a decent mouth-guard would be well advisable, and the harder the sport, the better the guard should be. You can buy off the shelf but if you love what you play, don’t take chances and get one made-up that is suited to your mouth and the games you enjoy. Mouth-guards will obviously protect your teeth and your gums first, but a good one can also absorb impact, which will help protect your jaws, head and neck. Dentists don’t like patching you up if you have been negligent with your teeth and they will slap your wrists, but remember, they still have to earn a living, so they will charge you and if you have been really silly, it is not only your mouth that will get hurt, so will your bank balance; and if you love and adore the sports you play, then look after yourself.
