Gulfside Dental Helps Protect Youth Football Players
Beaumont, TX (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- Gulfside Dental Helps Protect Youth Football Players
As young athletes lace up their cleats and put on their uniforms, Gulfside Dental(link:http://www.gulfsidedental.com/) wants to make sure they have a very important piece of equipment: mouth guards. In an effort to protect the teeth and oral health of local young athletes, Gulfside Dental is donating mouth guards to youth football players across Southeast Texas.
According to the American Dental Association, a mouth guard is an essential piece of athletic gear that should be part of an athlete’s standard equipment from an early age. In fact, an athlete is 60 times more likely to suffer harm to the teeth when not wearing a mouth guard.
Mouth guards prevent:
• Lip and facial laceration
• Dental Fracture
• Tooth displacement
• Jaw fracture
• Concussion
Dr. Ashley DeMarco of Gulfside Dental encourages the parents of young athletes to be aware of the important role mouth guards play in avoiding injuries during contact sports. “You can consider mouth guards to be ‘helmets of the mouth’. Just like bike helmets greatly decrease the severity of head injuries, mouth guards nearly eliminate mouth injuries”, says Dr. DeMarco.”
This year, Gulfside Dental has provided over 500 “boil-and-bite” mouth guards, which are boiled in hot water and molded to the individual’s mouth. If your youth sports organization needs mouth guards, please contact Gulfside Dental.
