April is National Facial Protection Month! From Village ORTHOdontics

April, also known as National Facial Protection Month, is upon us, and for our team at Village ORTHOdontics, that only means one thing: it’s once again time to remind our dear 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. Nearly 60,000 people injure their faces annually while participating in sports activities, and teenagers account for 80 percent of all sports-related trips to the emergency room.

And that, our dear patients, is why we're doing our part to remind you to protect your mouth when you're out on the ball field. We hope the above video helps. Protective gear is vital for anyone engaging in tooth or mouth-threatening activities. If you have any further questions about any of the tips offered in the video, please contact Village ORTHOdontics. And remember to have fun and stay safe!
