April is National Facial Protection Month

It is that time of year again when the weather gets nice and we start heading outside again!

I was running out on the Mount Vernon trail the other day and counted at least 50 percent of the bikers I saw without helmets, some were children.

I say this every year! But my helmet saved my life in 2015, and without it I would not be here to enjoy my current active lifestyle!

Use your bite guard as well! They are crucial to protecting the mouth and teeth during sports activities.

And many people forget, one of the leading causes of injury is riding motorized scooters. The ER reports this as a leading cause of injury to the jaws and is replacing motor vehicle trauma in frequency.
