Each February, the
American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health
Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. Developing good
habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get
a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums."For a Sparkly Smile, Brush & Floss Every Day!" Also, remember to
get your dental cleanings every 6 months!
Here
are a few tips to stay safe on the field this spring, courtesy of the AAO:
•Wear
mouth guards for contact sports such as baseball, softball, soccer and
lacrosse.
• Wear a
helmet.
• Wear
protective eye wear.
• Wear a
face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin.
• Be alert,
even as a spectator
Protective gear is
vital for anyone engaging in tooth or mouth threatening activities. Remember, stay
safe and have fun!
