- [Narrator] As a parent,
you know you can't prevent every accident.
Play it safe with the right equipment.
Add a mouth guard
to your child's sports or recreational-equipment list
to help prevent the impact of a painful
and costly facial injury.
Mouth guards should be:
fitted so it does not misalign the jaw,
lightweight,
strong
easy to clean,
properly sized, covering the upper and lower teeth and gums.
If your child does sustain a facial injury,
seek an evaluation from an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
OMSs are experts in handling injuries
to the face, mouth, and jaws.
