Play it safe this spring, from Drs. Mayers, Janowski and Ahman



You may remember our blog post a few weeks ago about the advantages of wearing a mouth guard. Today, we thought we'd follow-up on that post and remind you that April is National Facial Protection Month. According to the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation, children, high-school athletes and adults will have more than 5,000,000 teeth knocked out in sporting events this year. By simply protecting your face, these accidents could be fully prevented.

Above is a video from our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists that outlines five ways you can save face on the field this spring. If you have any further questions about any of the tips offered in the video, please contact our team at Orthodontic Associates. And remember to have fun and stay safe!
