Hey, Moms! Have you signed the Moms for Mouth Guards Pledge?

At Erkis & Hickman Orthodontics, we value your pearly whites, and we want to help keep you protected from sports injuries that can be detrimental to your beautiful smile. As a way of ensuring that children are using proper facial protection equipment the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) has introduced the Moms for Mouth Guards Pledge.

Mouth guards are vital to protecting your teeth from sports related injuries while participating in sports, such as football, soccer, baseball, hockey, and basketball, to name a few. The Moms for Mouth Guards Pledge is a way for moms nationwide to make a commitment to protecting their child’s smile from facial injuries.
In past entries, we’ve discussed the importance of using facial protection when exercising to prevent injury. Today, we at at Erkis & Hickman Orthodontics we are inviting moms to take action by visiting the Moms for Mouth Guards website and taking the Moms for Mouth Guards Pledge.

Have a safe week everyone!
