title: Project mouthguard: join the team to help our young athletes.
abstract: Project Mouthguard is a "win-win" situation for everyone involved. The athlete will be getting the best protection available for their dentition while they participate in school sports. The school will be able to prevent injuries, making sports participation safer and the job of the school's athletic trainer easier. Dentists will have an opportunity to do community service and help patients while also marketing their practice. The community will be aware of mouthguards, and those who participate in athletic activities can make more educated decisions on mouthguard use.
