ROCK THE MOUTH GUARD, OWN THE GAME
At Safe Smiles, we are dedicated
to ensuring the safety and well-being of children participating in sports by providing high-quality mouth guards free of charge. Join us in making sports safer for children!
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to prevent dental injuries and raise awareness about the importance of mouth protection. Through community outreach and education, we strive to make a positive impact on children's lives.
Our Goals
At Safe Smiles, we're committed to making sports safer for all kids, regardless of their background. Here’s how we plan to do it:
1. Advocate for Change
We’re connecting with local government officials to push for laws that ensure all children have access to mouthguards. This protection is especially important for families with lower incomes, who are often the hardest hit by dental injuries. We believe every child deserves the same level of safety and protection.
2. Shift Mindsets
Just like bicycle helmets and seat belts, we want mouthguards to become a standard part of sports gear. In the 1980s, bicycle helmets and seat belts were not considered social norms, but now they are expected safety measures. By changing how communities view mouth protection, we can help reduce injuries and promote better safety practices.
3. Start Early
We aim to get children used to wearing mouthguards from a young age, starting in school sports. This way, by the time they reach college, wearing a mouth guard will be second nature.
4. Start a Movement
We want to create a movement that brings awareness and action to the importance of mouthguards. This includes social media campaigns and community outreach that spread our message far and wide.
5. Partner with Dental Insurance Companies
We are working to have dental insurance companies cover the cost of mouthguards for children. This will ensure that all kids have access to this crucial protective gear, no matter their financial situation.
Join us in our mission to protect young athletes, advocate for change, and create a safer future for all!
