Dec 20 - Reduced Impact

Units_order_splash_0605_D.gifIf you have kids playing sports such as soccer, lacrosse, basketball, or certainly football, you probably worry about the risk of injury even more than the amount of playing time Junior is getting. And if you’re like most folks, you believe that mouth guards are designed to protect teeth, and that the standard, four-dollar, orange, rubber guard will do the job. But if you knew there was a mouth guard that not only does a better job of protecting teeth, but can also reduce the risk of brain injury, you’d want that, right? That’s the promise made by the people at Brain-Pad, www.brainpads.com.

Brain-Pad’s patented mouth guards secure the lower jaw, transmitting impact energy away from the brain and into the Brain-Pad. This means lower risk of concussion, and teeth, mouth, and jaw injury. Brain-Pad is so confident in their product they’ll offer up to $12,000 in dental insurance to their customers as well.

According to Science Daily, athletes who suffer a concussion are three times more likely to suffer another concussion shortly thereafter. And the cumulative, detrimental effects of multiple concussions are well documented. So while the Brain-Pad can’t guarantee that Bobby or Susie will be first-string, if it reduces the risk of injury, at least that’s one less worry you have watching from the stands.
