Follow on Google News | Local Orthodontists Promote Sports Safety During National Facial Protection Awareness MonthDuring April’s National Facial Protection Awareness Month, Drs. Jake DaBell and Pramod Sinha of Moses Lake Orthodontics are seeking to raise awareness of sports safety and increase the use of facial protection gear in youth sport activities.
By: Moses Lake Orthodontics “As a dental professional, I have seen plenty of mouth injuries caused by insufficient precautions when playing sports,” says Dr. Sinha. “I urge children, teens and their parents to protect their teeth and avoid other serious injuries by wearing mouth guards, helmets and protective eye or face wear,” recommends Dr. DaBell. Whether riding a bike or playing soccer, a fall or collision can cause serious injury, emergency room visits and various oral health problems. Properly wearing a helmet, protective eyewear, face shield and a mouth guard can help to significantly reduce or prevent brain, eye, jaw, mouth and teeth injuries. Children and athletes with braces should take additional care to protect their mouth and appliances while playing sports by using mouth guards, which are available at most pharmacies or can be custom-made for your specific need by your dentist or orthodontist.
