With summer 2011 almost here, our staff at Tidewater Orthodontics thought it would be a good time to remind our patients to take care of their mouth and appliances when out on the field. After all, the summer months bring with them a greater chance of our athletes damaging their teeth since you are out and about and/or playing sports. If you are playing sports this summer, it's important that you consult Dr. John Ashby or Dr. Curtis Dailey for special precautions, such as wearing a mouth guard. Mouth guards are advised by our doctors and staff for playing summer sports such as baseball, soccer, lacrosse and many, many others.
In case of any accident involving the face, we want you to check your mouth and appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances are damaged, please schedule an appointment to see us immediately. And don’t forget to ask us—Drs. Ashby and Dailey will be more than happy to provide a mouth guard for any patient in active treatment!
Our team at Tidewater Orthodontics will tell you that only by using a mouth guard and other forms of facial protection can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. Please give us a call if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment at our office.
We hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
