In recognition of the Youth Sports Safety Month in April, Delta Dental of Oklahoma has launched a statewide initiative to encourage all student athletes to wear mouth guards while playing sports. The Delta Dental of Oklahoma Foundation is giving away free mouth guards to athletes ages 18 and under who participate in school sports or organized leagues in Oklahoma.
The free microwaveable, re-moldable mouth guards come in two sizes: adult for ages 11-18 and child, for ages 10 and under. They come with or without a strap. For more information or to order mouth guards for your league/team, contact Delta Dental. Orders will be accepted April 3 - 30, 2023.
