Would using a mouthguard be a good idea?

This fucking thread is burned in my head, I'm terrified of that happening to me. I dislocate my shoulder almost daily and have broken a few bones but this seems horrible. I ordered some cheap mouth guard off of Amazon to hopefully prevent this somewhat, does anyone else wear a mouth guard while skiing? I have personally never seen someone do it, so maybe I'll be the Curry of park skiing with my mouth guard.

No Life

I used to wear a mouthguard when skiing in the park. Teeth are expensive, there is no sense ruining them. There are also studies that suggest that mouthguards reduce the incidence rate/severity of concussions in contact sports. So, there's the potential for that benefit as well.

Insane

youve definitely been skiing around poeple that have a mouthguard in, you just havent noticed, look through threads about mouthguards lots of us at least have one, maybe not wear it all the time. it is definitly a bit annoying but the one time it saves your teeth/tongue youll be happy. I dont wear mine nearly as much as I should
