Happy Friday! Our staff at McClellan Orthodontics wanted to remind you about the value of wearing facial protection this month. After all, April, also known as National Facial Protection Month, is upon us, and that means it's time to provide some quick tips to help your mouth stay safe 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 these tips help. Dr. Mart McClellan will tell you 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 our staff and enjoy your weekend!
