Choosing the Right Field Hockey Mouthguard

2025-03-21T18:30:27+00:00

Posted by Sassa Akervall When the SISU Mouth Guard rebranded from Protech Dent in 2012, we also introduced a second product, that is a little thicker for even better protection. We decided to call the original SISU (1.6) Ultralight and the new one SISU (2.4) Max. So, what is the difference between these guards? When Dr. Akervall first came up with the idea of the SISU mouth guard, he only worked with the original size, the SISU 1.6 Ultralight. It was clear very early on that the mouth guard could withstand much higher impact without transfer to the teeth, than any [Read More>]

Posted by Rita Shelley Who hasn’t cringed watching LeBron James passionately chew on his mouth guard? Let’s face it: in and out of your mouth througout the game, your mouthguard can get pretty gross. In fact, when it comes to conventional guards, the mouth guard is the most bacteria carrying piece of sports equipment you own! Perhaps you don’t think too much about the amount of dirt and germs that accumulate on your guards during practices, games, or simply storage. After afew weeks in your bag, the guards start to turn dusky and smell. After regular practices or games, there is [Read More>]

5 Ways to Be Safe When Playing Team Sports

2025-03-21T18:46:44+00:00

When you go out on the field to play a game, safety is often the farthest thing from your mind. Who cares about safety? You are out there to have fun. Right? Hopefully not. Safety is important for many reasons; even reasons separate and apart from the fact that it is no fun to be hurt. For example, safety violations can result in penalties, either individual or team. It can also result in an injury to someone else, and hopefully you do not want to have someone else’s injury on your conscience. All of this should tell you something: if you [Read More>]

Posted by Sierra Soleimani There are two million of reported incidents of concussions per year in the US.

Losing Teeth in Field Hockey

2025-01-07T16:39:09+00:00

Posted by Rita Shelley What if your child suddenly lost his teeth? Smiling, talking, eating—everything would be affected! The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry surveys confirm that as much as 39 percent of all dental injuries in children are caused by direct hits with a hard object, such as a puck or ball or stick in player-to-player contact. While high contact sports, such as MMA or Rugby have a higher risk of dental injury, the unexpected ones,  such as gymnastics and cheerleading also pose a considerable risk. Mouthguards, also called gum shields, help cushion a blow to the mouth, minimizing the [Read More>]
