Join your ADAVB colleagues and get involved in eviDent's Mouthguard March campaign!

Did you know that only 36% of Australian sport players wear a mouthguard when participating in a contact sport, and even less wear a mouthguard during training?

Even celebrities aren't immune to such injuries. Radio and TV personality, Andy Lee, discovered this the hard way, when he snapped his two front teeth during an ice hockey incident in 2010 - he wasn't wearing a mouthguard.

Sports-related injuries account for nearly 40% of dental injuries. This March, the eviDent Foundation needs you to help turn this around. Join our Mouthguard March campaign aimed at reminding parents and players of the importance of wearing a mouthguard during sport.

Join your colleagues that have already signed up and enjoy these great benefits: 

  • A fantastic colour poster for display in your practice for all your patients to see
  • Engaging campaign images for use on your website and social media platforms
  • Promotion of your participation on eviDent website, eviDent’s social media, and Caring For Your Kids' Teeth Facebook page
  • Inclusion of your practice name in reports about the campaign, including in the eviDent Foundation Annual Report
  • Provision of eviDent Foundation materials to display such as research project brochures,  annual reports, banners, etc.
  • Issue of tax receipts (for donations only).

Taking part in eviDent's Mouthguard March campaign publicly demonstrates your practice’s commitment to protecting the teeth of Australians who participate in sport, and creates a sense of social responsibility for your staff and patients.

Care for your patients and at the same time help to raise funds for oral health research, by contributing a portion of mouthguard sales to eviDent.
