JEN WENK, APR, TO REPRESENT MOUTHGUARD MAKER JAWZZ, INC.
Las Vegas, Nev. – Jen Wenk, APR, today announced that her firm, StarPR Las VegasTM LLC, will represent the athletic mouthguard manufacturer Jawzz, Inc., and “The FightDentists,” the husband-and-wife team of Dr. Silva Battaglin and Dr. Adam Persky who customize and prescribe Jawzz-branded mouthguards through their licensed dental practice “The FightDentists Boutique Dental & Fight Shop” in Las Vegas.
StarPR Las Vegas will provide public and media relations services to help Jawzz expand and secure its brand presence in the sports industry and guide in the development of a community relations program with dedicated initiatives.
“I am excited to represent Jawzz, Inc. and ‘The FightDentists’ Dr. Battaglin and Dr. Persky as they continue their hard work and dedication to revolutionizing the safety, quality, and cosmetics of mouthguards for athletes competing in contact and combat sports,” said Wenk.
“I’ve known Jen Wenk for years and I am pleased that StarPR Las Vegas will represent my wife, Dr. Battaglin, and myself, as we build our new practice and continue our work with Jawzz as the best mouthguards in the business,” said Dr. Persky.
Matthew and Kim McGarry started Jawzz, Inc. in 2006 after identifying the need for a safer, higher quality, and less-expensive mouthguard for athletes competing in combat and contact sports. They opened Sportguard Laboratories East in South Florida, and over the last five years, have invested in developing, researching, and continuously improving the Jawzz line of boil-and-bite and custom mouthguards. Using PolyShoKTM technology, which allows for optimal protection through shock reduction and an ideal fit, Jawzz mouthguards contribute to the prevention of injury. The Jawzz design team adds style, edge and self-expression to products with graphics and colors that illustrate nationality, culture, and lifestyle preferences.
“We chose StarPR Las Vegas to represent Jawzz because of Jen’s expertise and depth of experience in combat sports, a category principal to the immediate and substantial growth of Jawzz mouthguards,” said Matt McGarry.
Experts agree that the single most important value of a mouthguard is the injury-preventing effect following an impact to the lower jaw. Recognizing that the use of athletic mouthguards should be taken to the highest level of safety and encouraged in all contact and combat sports, Dr. Battaglin and Dr. Persky teamed up with Jawzz Inc. to create awareness of the benefits and create custom fit mouthguards for athletes, specializing in the sport of mixed martial arts. Today, Dr. Battaglin and Dr. Persky serve as the dentists of choice for The Ultimate Fighter® reality series and have created hundreds of custom mouthguards for UFC®, WEC®, and Strikeforce® athletes. They recently celebrated the grand opening of “The FightDentists Boutique Dental & Fight Shop” in Las Vegas where they practice dentistry and prescribe Jawzz custom mouthguards.
