(PRLEAP.COM) Nothing is a more valuable piece of equipment to an athlete than a mouthguard. Basketball, boxing, ice hockey and football mouth guards are some of the most common contact sports in which mouthguards are used to help prevent serious harm to the athlete's face or mouth that could forever ruin their smile. Other non-contact sports and recreational activities that put the participant at risk should also be engaged in while wearing a properly fitted mouthguard for protection. The problem with these important safety tools is that they can cause dry mouth and are described as having a rubbery taste that leads to athletes not wanting to keep them in their mouth in place. The introduction of Shock Doctor flavored mouthguards to the inventory at Ithaca Sports resolves this issue and makes the experience of wearing a mouthguard one that is more enjoyable.

The Shock Doctor mouthguard is a popular brand and includes the Gel Max, the #1 selling mouth guard because of its combination of comfort, fit and protection. It is made with a heavy duty rubber shock frame that protects the wearer against impact and a gel fit liner that lets the mouth piece mold perfectly to the athlete's bite for a close fit. Flavor Fusion technology has added flavors that taste great without causing a compromise to their performance. The flavors are sugar free, calorie free and do not promote tooth decay. Ithaca Sports offers adult and children's sizes in blue raspberry, bubble gum, fruit punch, lemon lime, mint and orange. Flavors should last through an entire season although the flavor will diminish in strength somewhat.
