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. Dr. Nelson Hersh Dr. Marsha Beattie Dr. Amy Isenberg Licensed Specialists for Children & Adults Jacobovits-Jankelovitz E va and Sheldon Hamburger of Raleigh, N.C., and Stuart Jankelovitz and Dr. Terri Orbuch of West Bloomfield are delighted to announce the engagement of their daughter Erica Jankelovitz to Yaron Jacobovits, son of Eli and Sherry Jacobovits of Coral Springs, Fla.

One out of three boys and one out of four girls will experience a dental injury by the time they finish high school. West Bloomfield Commerce Township 248.926.4100 Located in the Lakes Medical Building Waterford 248-673-4100 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.
