Mouth Guards

MOUTH GUARDS AND SCHOOL SPORT

Parents and students are advised that Frankston High School recommends that students wear mouth guards for all contact sport at school, particularly when students are playing school and interschool sport in the following: football, soccer, hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, netball, basketball and baseball.

A mouth guard is an easy and cost effective way to reduce the risk of injury when playing sport. The Australian Dental Association has set out five good reasons why mouth guards should be worn when playing sport:

Cushions teeth against impact
Protects against jaw joint injuries
Protects against soft tissue injuries
Helps prevent neck and jaw injuries
May help reduce a concussion

It is important to remind parents that the Department of Education and Training does NOT provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students. Student accident insurance may be taken out privately by parents for their own child/ren.
