Should you wear mouth guards when playing high school field hockey?

Is it a good idea or just for pros.|||do you want to keep your teeth?


i would think you would want to wear one.





You really should wear them.


i know i don't want my teeth ruined from a field hockey ball.





:]|||i dont play but i tink so|||Good Idea! Aways wear a mouth gaurd when you play sports like that. Its so not fun to have a puck or ball or whatever smashed into your teeth!!!


Good Luck!! Hope you win your game :)|||depends on wether or not you like having teeth. even in a full mask doing something that makes you bite down hard or something can cause you to chip a tooth on another tooth. if you like the hockey look and missing/chipped teeth, then I wouldn't bother wearing one.|||If you want to keep your teeth then yes.|||yes! i have false teeth and scars to prove it|||I didn't, and I'm jusht fine|||I don't play field hockey. But when I play ice or street hockey I wear a mouth guard as my godfather spent almost 5K so I could get orthodontic wk when I was in highschool|||It's never a bad idea to wear a mouthpiece. Field hockey is a collision sport in the same way that baseball and soccer are collision sports. You have the potential to collide with another person, get hit with either a stick or a ball. Mouthpieces prevent concussions more than protect dental work. The equipment and the people are still very solid.|||Yes, you must. It's not only good for safety, but it's also a rule for all field hockey players. Really now, do you really want to be in terrible pain when you get hit?|||First off all field hockeys鈥?is great game which you need to be smart to read the game tactics and so on.


Same time it also very dangerous if you use it in wrong way.


Games are to enjoy and to have fun, so look at it in positive way and you will get the best out of it.





Mouth guards will prevent players from shouting among players / arguing with empires / using bad words.


By using mouth guard basically making players to use brain and play rather then using mouth.


Players are more disciplined and the game looks more professional


At same time it is giving great protection to the player.





Remember all the games are dangerous if we use it in wrong way ok!!!!!!
