Twenty-five team members from Plymouth Albion RFC are to benefit from protected smiles, thanks to the Devonport Dental Education Facility (DEF), Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry and run by the Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise.
The DEF team has provided advice to team members, and created and fitted tailored mouth guards for each player.
Albion team members visited the Devonport DEF in Devonport, next door to the Plymouth Albion ground, for an initial dental assessment and to have impressions made of their teeth so that the mouth guards can be made. The players will return to Devonport when the mouth guards arrive to have them fitted and to receive advice about how best to use them.
