Sinnott

Michael Simon Sinnott (Mordecai Shimon), son of Wendy
Simon, will become a bar mitzvah on Saturday, Aug. 13, at
Temple Beth Ami in Rockville, Md. Joining him on the bimah to
celebrate will be his cherished Nana and Papa, Jeanie and Jack
Simon of Boca Raton, Fla., formerly of West Bloomfield, and
other close family and friends.
Michael will be a seventh-grade student at the Auburn School
in the fall. For his mitzvah project, he is collecting new and used
household items to donate to the Montgomery County Humane
Society Wagging Tails Thrifts and Gifts store to help in the sup-
port and care of homeless and neglected animals.

An Illinois hospital study says that almost 10% of all dental injuries are
sports related. In collision sports, such as football, hockey and boxing, the
risk of injury is obvious. Athletes who participate in these sports are required
to wear protective gear. However in contact sports such as basketball,
baseball, softball, wrestling, soccer and volleyball, protective mouth gear
is not mandatory and there appears to be little awareness of the risks of
dental injury.

Almost 12 percent of male athletes between ages 12 and 18 reported oral
injuries. 32% of those were associated with football, 21 ½ % with basketball,
18 ½ % with baseball. In a survey of 1,020 Florida high-school varsity
basketball players, 33% reported sustaining at least one oral-facial injury
during a season. Of all basketball injuries, 34% were oral-facial.

Using mouthguards reduces injuries. Before mandatory oral-facial protection
in football (1962) 50 % of all injuries in football were oral-facial. After
required use of protection, only 3% of football injuries were oral-facial. It
is estimated that more than 200,000 oral-facial injuries are prevented each
year because of mandatory wear in football. Properly fitted mouthguards
reduce the rate of dental and jaw injuries during sports.

Volunteer use of mouthguards in sports is rare and shows no signs of
improving. 95% of coaches said they believe mouthguards prevent oral
injuries, but only 16% required mouthguard use in sports other than football.
Mouthguards help prevent injuries and should be used by all athletes that are
in contact sports without exception, including those wearing braces.
