With only three full weeks of summer remaining, Dr. Pamela Clark our staff at Pearland Pediatric Dentistry would like to remind all our young athletes to take good care of your mouth while participating in contact sports (and non-contact sports) this fall. After all, we know this is a busy time of year sports-wise, whether you're playing light soccer at the local park or practicing for school sports this fall.
Here are a few tips to remember when you're out on the field in the coming months:
• Wear mouth guards during contact sports
• Wear a helmet
• Stretch before and after a game or practice
• Wear protective eyewear
• Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin
• Be observant, even as a spectator
Remember, only by using a mouth guard can kids avoid serious mouth and facial injuries. We encourage you to ask Drs. Clark or Reddy (or one of our staff members) for a mouth guard during your next visit, and we will happily provide one!
