By Evan J. Cholfin

Can a Mouthguard Do More Than Just Protect Teeth?

The Biggest Challenge in Sports Safety? Education.
Concussions are a huge concern in sports, yet many governing bodies are hesitant to mandate stronger safety measures.
James believes that sports organizations are aware of the risks—they see the statistics and know concussions are happening. But fear of change and declining participation holds them back.
💡 The solution? Educating parents, athletes, and organizations on how better equipment—like properly fitted mouthguards—can reduce concussions and dental injuries.
XSport isn’t just selling mouthguards. They’re working to shift the conversation about safety.
The Innovation: Carbon Fiber Protection & Custom Fit
Not all mouthguards are created equal. Most athletes grab an off-the-shelf option without realizing that packaging doesn’t equal protection.
XSport Mouthguards is changing the standard with:
✅ Patented carbon fiber technology—7X stronger than titanium
✅ Custom-fit designs for maximum comfort and safety
✅ Impact absorption technology to reduce concussion risk
If NASA, elite race cars, and top athletic gear brands trust carbon fiber for strength, why shouldn’t athletes have the same level of protection?
XSport is making that a reality.
Affordability & Accessibility: Protection for Every Athlete
One of the biggest misconceptions about high-quality mouthguards is that they’re too expensive.
James and the XSport team disagree—because a $199 investment in safety is worth it when it means avoiding concussions and costly dental injuries.
XSport is working to bring high-performance mouthguards to athletes everywhere—from youth sports to the pros—at an accessible price point.
Because safety shouldn’t be a luxury.
Building a Movement: How XSport is Growing Through Community & Philanthropy
Selling protective gear isn’t enough. To truly make a difference, XSport is investing in education, awareness, and philanthropy.
✔ Expanding youth sports partnerships to provide mouthguards to underserved athletes
✔ Working with donors & sports organizations to fund safety initiatives
✔ Engaging dentists, coaches & parents in concussion prevention awareness
By creating a community-driven approach to safety, XSport is ensuring that more athletes have access to real protection.
