Eagan Orthodontics Practice Sponsors Youth Athletic Programs
EAGAN, ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – The Eagan orthodontics practice of Dr. Eisenhuth is on board as a sponsor again this year for several youth athletic programs.
Eisenhuth has sponsored local hockey, soccer, lacrosse and football programs for several years by offering custom-fitted mouth guards for players and providing check-ups to ensure players’ mouth guards fit properly.
