How the hell can mouth guards be so effective against otherwise serious dental issues, especially in boxing?
In: Biology
Mouth guards are effective in sports like boxing because they act like a cushion for your teeth and gums. When a boxer gets hit in the face, the mouth guard absorbs and spreads out the force of the punch over a larger area. This helps to prevent injuries like broken teeth, cuts inside the mouth, or jaw injuries. Think of it like a bumper on a car that helps protect it by softening the blow during an accident. So, when a boxer wears a mouth guard, it’s like having a protective shield that keeps their teeth and mouth safer from hard hits.
