April is upon us, and for Dr. Donald Drake and our team at Drake Orthodontics, that only means one thing: it’s once again time to remind our dear patients to protect their faces and pearly whites. After all, April is National Facial Protection Month. During this time our dedicated team urge our young athletes to play it safe when out on the field. Here are a few ways to ensure your mouth’s safety this spring, courtesy of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists:1. Wear mouth guards for contact sports such as baseball, softball, soccer and lacrosse.
2. Wear a helmet
3. Wear protective eyewear
4. Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin
5. Be alert, even as a spectator
We hope that helps. Protective gear is vital for anyone engaging in tooth or mouth-threatening activities. If you have any further questions about any of these tips, please contact Drake Orthodontics. Stay safe and have fun!
