As you know, adult professional athletes wear mouthguards to protect their mouths. Professional cyclists wear helmets. So, it stands to reason that much less experienced amateurs should probably wear some sort of protection, too, right? While this certainly applies to all ages, it most definitely applies to your children and their oral health. The reason we are talking about it right now, you wonder? Well, because April is National Facial Protection Month, of course!
#1: Remember, We Offer Pediatric Dental Emergency Care
Remember that we are on hand to see your child if a dental emergency strikes. Yes, you may make sure your kids are just as safe as safe can be as frequently as possible. However, when an unforeseen problem occurs (and they’re likely to happen every now and then with kids), we want you to remember to call us, so we can keep your child’s oral health safe.
#2: Ask Us About Mouthguards For Athletics
Ask us about how to protect your kiddos’ smiles if they are involved in soccer, football, basketball, or any other team-based or individual athletics. Choosing a mouthguard provides more protection than you may realize for developing smiles.
#3: Yes, We Strongly Suggest Helmets!
We cannot tell you enough just how important it is for your child to wear a helmet when the activity calls for it. This might be when up to bat in a baseball or softball game, when riding a bike, when trying out roller skates, etc. It can mean the difference between a safe fall or one that yields head injury and facial trauma. While your kid might not love it, he or she will quickly adapt to wearing a helmet and the oral health protection (and beyond) is worth it!
