Detroit Free Press Investigates Hockey Team’s Dental Realities
Though it’s well known that they face dental dangers at every turn, hockey players seem to be more reluctant than other athletes to wear mouthguards. The NHL doesn’t require players to wear mouthguards, so only about half of all professional players do, with the rest complaining that they are uncomfortable or impair their breathing.
Red Wings player Darren McCarty sports a gap-toothed smile, and has said that he won’t replace the missing tooth until he retires from hockey.
