April is National Facial Protection Month, from Studebaker Orthodontics

You may remember our team last week blogging about the advantage of wearing a mouth guard when playing sports. Well, this week happens to be a great time for a follow-up. You see, April happens to be National Facial Protection Month, and it’s a good time to remind our young athletes about staying safe on the field this spring. According to the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation, children, high-school athletes and adults will have more than 5,000,000 teeth knocked out in sporting events this year.

For Dr. Studebaker and our staff, that's just simply not acceptable.

The above video contains five ways to ensure the safety of your mouth this spring, courtesy of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists. If you have any further questions about any of the tips offered in the video, please give us a call at 281-251-9229. Have a great rest of the week and remember to protect your mouth!
