AB Even  when  appropriate  equipment  is  used,  the  face,  nose,  mouth,  and  ears  are  vulnerable  to  injury.  However,  rules  requiring  the  use  of  face  masks  and  mouthguards  have  reduced  the  number  and  severity  of  injuries  to  the  maxillofacial  area.  For  maximum  protection,  these  devices  must  be  properly  fitted.  The  use  of  mouthguards  during  practices  and  games  should  be  encouraged,  even  in  low-risk  sports  in  which  their  use  is  not  mandated.
