Save face this spring, from Brown Family Orthodontics

April is almost upon us, and for Drs. Brown and our team at Brown Family Orthodontics that only means one thing: it’s time to remind our young patients to protect their faces and pearly whites. Above is a helpful video from our friends at the AAO about staying safe on the ball 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. By simply wearing a properly fitted mouth guard, these accidents could prevent this along with other traumatic facial injuries.

At Brown Family Orthodontics we are concerned for the health and safety of our patients at all times, but especially when playing contact sports. The above video from our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists outlines five ways you can protect yourself this spring. If you have any further questions about any of these tips, please contact our team. And remember to stay safe and have fun this spring!
