Our teeth consist of the same hard, inorganic materials like our bones. Calcium plays a dominant role in the healthy development of teeth as well as our bones. Our teeth are composed of a mineral called hydroxyapatite that is made up of the combination of calcium and phosphate. The calcium present in teeth provides the fortitude and protects the sensitive nerves present inside a tooth.

In general, calcium present in our body is constantly breakdown as we use our bones and teeth. Our body can regenerate calcium to rebuilt the lost mineral. Besides this, our body can store the excess calcium in our bones and teeth that eventually helps in fortifying them.

A mouthguard (mouth protector) is a flexible custom fitted device worn over teeth during athletic and recreational activities to protect them from damage. A good-fitting mouth guard may be especially important if you wear braces, have fixed anterior bridgework or just want to protect your teeth/smile from potential trauma. Mouthguards can buffer damage to the teeth, the brackets and/or other fixed appliances from blows and physical contact. Mouthguards can also act as a barrier between teeth/braces and the cheeks, between the lips and tongue, thereby limiting the risk of soft tissue damage.
