Dental Care

The athletic insurance policy will cover injuries to the mouth and to sound natural teeth incurred while participating in an official practice or game. The use of mouthpieces is strongly recommended in all contact sports, including basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and wrestling, in order to help reduce the incidence and/or severity of dental and brain injuries. In those sports where mouthpieces are mandatory (i.e. ice hockey, field hockey, and men's & women's lacrosse), the University's insurance company will provide coverage ONLY if the protective device is worn by the student-athlete in accordance with the guidelines set by the manufacturer. Dental care not directly related to an athletic injury shall be the responsibility of the student-athlete.
