Drs. Clark and Reddy present: 5 easy steps to sun safety

Let's face it, summer can get pretty darn hot, and with the heat wave sweeping through the U.S. during last two weeks, Dr. Pamela Clark and Dr. Suha Reddy want you to think more and more about sun safety when you’re out and about. There are many ways kids can protect themselves during the hot summer months, and Parents Magazine has kindly provided five tips to help you get started.

1. Limit outdoor playtime between 10 and 4. (These are usually the hottest hours of the day).

2. Apply sunscreen properly. (Choose a sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 15 or higher. Apply to nose, ears, hands, feet, shoulders and behind the neck; lips can also burn, so apply a lip balm with SPF protection.

3. Wearing protective clothing. This includes a hat with a brim, sunglasses and a large umbrella.

4. Watch those medications. Some medications increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, so make sure to ask your doctor whether your child may be at risk.

5. You're the parent: Set the example. If your child sees you following sun-safety rules, he or she will follow suit.

Drs. Clark and Reddy encourage you to please give us a call if you have any questions, and always have a bottle of water handy when heading out! We hope you're all having a fantastic summer so far!

Anesthesia Reversal at Pearland Pediatric Dentistry!

Your child’s comfort is an important priority in our practice. Children often dislike the lingering sensation of being numb after a dental procedure or may try to chew their lip or cheek causing trauma. To prevent any discomfort associated with the after-effects of anesthesia, Dr. Clark and Dr. Reddy are now offering OraVerse to their patients.

OraVerse is the only product of its kind to rapidly reverse the numbing effect associated with the use of local anesthesia. This gives your child the ability to speak, smile, and drink normally in a very short time following a procedure.

OraVerse is administered by injection but is not felt by the patient since they are already numb. Dr. Clark and Dr. Reddy recommend OraVerse for patients who have had simple procedures done such as restorative fillings, but not for procedures such as extractions.

We hope you had a GREAT Fourth of July weekend!!
