Did you know that each year, thousands of people are treated for injuries that could have easily been prevented by wearing a properly fitted mouthguard? Many people require visits to hospital emergency departments and extensive dental treatment because their teeth were unprotected.
The Prevalence of Sports Injuries
In Victoria, sports are the most common cause of injury to teens and young adults necessitating a hospital visit, accounting for 20.9% of all accidents. Mouth and jaw injuries are some of the most common sporting injuries. These include cuts to the mouth, broken jaw, and chipped, broken and knocked-out teeth. With their Mouthguard March campaign, the eviDent Foundation aims to remind parents and players of the importance of wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard while engaging in sport. For every mouthguard we sell, our practice will donate $10.00 to the Foundation.
