Printing cut $695: In order to promote the use of Mouthguards to prevent oral injuries to <br /> student athletes in five high schools and seven middle schools in Orange County Schools, <br /> 120 Mouthguard Manuals will not be distributed. Each manual costs $5.00 to produce for a <br /> total of$600. The manuals were to be distributed to coaches of 120 teams targeting the <br /> following athletic teams: basketball, soccer, field hockey, girl's lacrosse, baseball, softball, <br /> wrestling and volleyball. The 20 page color manual was used by the coaches to assist <br /> them in recruiting parent volunteers to be responsible for the Mouthguard Programs for <br /> each of their teams. The manual includes information on the OCHD Mouthguard Program <br /> and the Prevention of Oral Injuries. • <br /> One in ten youthful athletes can expect to suffer an orofacial injury every season. It can <br /> happen in any sport to both male and female players. Mouthguards can help stop oral <br /> injuries and make them less devastating and even prevent them. Studies show that <br /> properly-fitted mouthguards can also reduce the incidence of concussions and other <br /> impact-related injuries to the face, head and neck. <br /> Upon recruitment of student athletes through their teams, volunteer dental students from <br /> the UNC Dental School travel to the school, make impressions of the student's teeth and <br /> manufacture the mouthguard either at the dental school lab or at the health department. <br /> Each student is responsible for paying $10 to recover the cost of the supplies. <br /> Distribution of 2,500 Mouthguard Brochures to 2,500 student athletes approximately 20 <br /> players per team for 120 teams from 5 high schools and 7 middle schools in Orange <br /> County. 5 reams of color paper @ $4.00 each = $20 and printing of 2,500 brochures @ <br /> .03cents = $75 for a total of$95. <br /> Medical/Dental Supplies cut $1,500: The OCHD received two grants from previous years <br /> from Stroud-Roses Foundation to pay for the Mouthguard dental equipment, fixed supplies <br /> and disposal supplies. For the past year, after the grant funding, the expenses for the <br /> Mouthguard project included the purchase of disposable items. The disposable supplies to <br /> make 250 mouthguards includes the cost of the following supplies: <br /> $195 Disposable trays <br /> $259 Jeltrate impression material <br /> $166 Mouthguard Containers <br /> $100 Mouthguard Brochures <br /> $780 Mouthguard Material <br /> With active recruitment, it was anticipated that 250 athletes would seek <br /> mouthguards at a cost to the athlete of$10 each. Without active recruitment as <br /> detailed above, it is anticipated that fewer than 100 student athletes will participate <br /> in this program that is primarily provided by volunteers from the UNC Dental <br /> School. Staff will respond to direct requests from coaches but will not seek active <br /> participation. <br /> S-8 * DHS -- Proposal (Provide a brief description of the service change) <br /> • Reduce Dental Services Operating Expenses <br /> S-8 * DHS -- Fiscal Impact (This number should correspond to the amount included <br /> on the department's budget request excel spreadsheet) <br /> 36 <br />
