If there is bleeding in the wound area, pressure should be applied with gauze to stop the bleeding. If the wound is too large and bleeding continues, the dentist or the nearest emergency clinic should be consulted. Mouth guards have been developed to protect against lip and cheek injuries that may occur in contact sports
Mouth guards are soft plastic appliances placed between the upper and lower teeth. Especially in athletes who play contact sports such as football, basketball, wrestling, etc. and in children of playing age, injuries may occur either as a result of being hit by other athletes or sports equipment or as a result of falling. Injuries to tissues in the mouth such as teeth, jaw, lips and tongue occupy an important place in sports injuries. These injuries can be prevented significantly by using mouth guards.
