A member asked:
Would a mouth guard(single or double, like shock doctor or everlast) protect filling of teeth well for impacts like punches to the face or mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, somewhat: A double mouthguard will help to protect teeth from punches to the face and mouth. But it is only a limited protection. Care must be used to properly fit and place the mouthguard.
