Pearland Pediatric Dentistry, taking steps to reduce our environmental impact

Yesterday marked the 41st anniversary of Earth Day, and our team at Pearland Pediatric Dentistry realize we are living in an age with a renewed commitment to conservation, and are frequently reminded to recycle, reduce and reuse. Today, we thought it would be a great time to discuss everything that we do at our Pearland office to conserve our natural resources and the environment.

In order not to use potentially toxic chemicals and to conserve developing paper, we use digital radiographs, and have been since we opened in 2005. We also recycle in our office and the company we use for shredding recycles all of the paper they shred!

In addition, did you know that we offer patients account access 24 hours a day, seven days a week? We offer convenient and secure online services with our patient login system. You can view all of your account information, and even receive appointment reminders through email or text messages. Since this information is submitted electronically, we eliminate the use of large amounts of paper and printing materials.

What about you? How did you spend Earth Day? What are you doing to "go green" or reduce your ecological footprint this year? We invite you to post here or on our Facebook page!

Play it safe this spring, from Drs. Clark & Reddy

With spring here, 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). After all, we know this is a busy time of year sports-wise, whether you're playing light soccer at the local park or playing competitive high-school baseball.

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 strongly encourage our patients to wear mouthguards when participating in sports for the protection of their teeth and their jaws! We do offer custom mouthguards, especially for our teenage patients.

And the winners are...
