Athletics and Mouthguards

Thousands of dollars are spent each year on shin guards, wrist pads,
athletic cups and other sports gear to protect athletes from harm. But with
the weather warming for spring, one of the most important body parts often

Facial Protection Month, the American Association of Endodontists (AAE)
urges all athletic directors, coaches and parents to enforce mouth guard
use and facial protection during sports to prevent knocked out, or avulsed,
teeth.
