Local Orthodontic Practice Donates Free Mouth Guards to Local Youth Soccer League

NASHUA, N.H. - June 21, 2016 - PRLog -- Chelian Orthodontics announces its "Play It Safe Mouth Guard Program" benefiting youth athletes in the Nashua area. The program aims to prevent mouth and jaw injuries to children and teen athletes in the community by providing professionally fitted mouth guards.

The Southern New Hampshire Youth Soccer League is the first to take advantage of the program. Chelian Orthodontics (http://www.drchelian.com/) will offer free mouth guards to its 120 camp participants this June. The orthodontic practice plans to offer mouth guards to other leagues in the county as a community service initiative.

The National Youth Sports Safety Foundation reports that athletes who do not wear protective mouth guards are 60 times more likely to damage teeth.  The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention adds that more than half of the 7 million sports and recreation-related injuries that occur each year are sustained by children as young as 5-years-old. This poses the question, why are our youth not wearing mouth guards?

Wearing a mouth guard is a simple and effective way to prevent injuries. All children, teens and adults should wear protective mouth guards when participating in any sports related activity. Dr. Chelian, founder of Chelian Orthodontics, decided to take action and founded the Chelian Orthodontics "Play It Safe Mouth Guard Program."

"Our mission is 'to use the skill we have cultivated to help as many people smile as possible.' I truly believe it is our privilege and responsibility to give back to the communities that have so graciously supported Chelian Orthodontics over the years. This Mouth Guard Program makes our mission come to life, in a very real way," said Dr. Suren Chelian.
