Shooting and dental problems

I actually had a tooth break after a shooting session. The doc said it'd had a nasty cavity and could well have broken due to shooting.
 
Recommend wearing teeth guards just like the ones you use for boxing and football as a cheap immediate fix. Then think about your shooting position and if you can adjust it or have somebody watch you shoot and then see if you can shave some of the stock down where it's causing the problem. Maybe playing around with the length of the stock or adding a buttpad might change how the stock hits you. It is a real problem, a simple stock shortening stopped me from getting banged in the cheekbone and getting terrible headaches with my old single shot 12 gauge.
