National Facial Protection Month: Free Custom-Fit Mouth Guard

April is National Facial Protection Month and we’re ready to celebrate the month by reminding you to save your face and teeth. Spring is the time we all love to get suited up for outdoor activities but we cannot forget to protect our heads and face. By protecting yourself with a helmet and mouthguard you are avoiding head, mouth, and facial injuries due to sports-related accidents. Whether at practice, at a game, or simply enjoying some fun in the sun, it’s important to play it safe.

Protective gear can save your teeth, face, and even your life!

• Wear a mouthguard when playing contact sports. Mouthguards can help prevent injury to a person’s teeth, mouth and jaw, and they are significantly less expensive than the cost to repair an injury, which can reach the tens of thousands of dollars over a lifetime.  Follow a good example of MLB All-Star pitcher Patrick Corbin, who wears a mouth guard every time he takes to the mound.
• Wear a helmet. Helmets absorb the energy of an impact and help prevent damage to the head.
• Wear protective eyewear. Eyes are extremely vulnerable to damage, especially when playing sports.
• Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin. Hockey pucks, basketballs, and racquetballs can cause severe facial damage at any age. Custom-Fit Mouth Guard!
