Also, the mouth guard can prevent concussions. If you collide with someone and they hit you "right on the button"--right in the middle of your jaw--then your jaw can become almost like a hammer hitting you in the head from underneath. Teeth can be replaced--brains can't. Wear the mouthguard to protect your brain.
