Are you wearing your mouthguard this summer?
July 6th, 2011
With summer in full force, and our staff at Dr. John Rottschalk Dental Group thought today would be a great time to remind all our young athletes in treatment to take care of both their mouth and appliances while participating in sports - especially contact sports - this summer.
Only by using a mouth guard can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. The next time you're in for a visit with Dr. Rottschalk, Acker, and Froidcoeur, we encourage you to ask us for a mouth guard! In addition, here are five quick tips for keeping yourself or your kids safe during sport activities this summer.
• 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
We hope you're enjoying your summer, and invite you all to share your summer photos on our Facebook page!
