A flying elbow, ball or puck can result in severe dental injuries that can require thousands of dollars to treat.

If this happens, the mouthguard will absorb some of the force of the blow and reduce the amount of energy going to the brain. The benefits of wearing a mouthguard can are explained in detail here.
