Question on dental partials

**Q mystic** · 06-14-2009, 06:28 PM

Just wondering if there is a problem with having dental partials for mma or striking fighters. I cant see it being a problem with grappling but are there problems in striking sports(for being broken or problem with fit in mouthpeice)

Thanks.,

I got partial dentures for my lower front teeth. I just stake them out before sparring and don't seem to have any trouble.

It would be silly to wear your partial....you risk choking on it. I used to wear mine in training, but it always popped out. Just safer to take it out.

There's different types of partials, and their fit differs in how many/location of teeth being replaced......

Typically, I'd look at taking them out - seen too many of them being cracked or bent being handled improperly (let alone with striking).
