April is upon us, and for Dr. Nettles Green and our team at Green Orthodontics, that only means one thing: it’s once again time to remind our dear patients to protect their faces and pearly whites. April is National Facial Protection Month. During this time Dr. Green and our dedicated team urge our young athletes to play it safe when out on the field.
We thought we'd pass along a few tips 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 the staff at Green Orthodontics. Stay safe and have fun!
