00:00:07,610 --> 00:00:08,443
- [Narrator] As a parent,

3
00:00:08,443 --> 00:00:10,843
you know you can't prevent every accident.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,013
Play it safe with the right equipment.

5
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:17,670
Add a mouth guard

6
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:20,840
to your child's sports or
recreational-equipment list

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,950
to help prevent the impact of a painful

8
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:24,593
and costly facial injury.

9
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:31,160
Mouth guards should be:

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,120
fitted so it does not misalign the jaw,

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,250
lightweight,

12
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:36,800
strong

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,100
easy to clean,

14
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:42,240
properly sized, covering the
upper and lower teeth and gums.

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,340
If your child does
sustain a facial injury,

16
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:47,890
seek an evaluation from an
oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

17
00:00:47,890 --> 00:00:50,370

18
00:00:50,370 --> 00:00:52,500
