It's summertime and that means no school and more time for fun activities like sports. While you may not see a correlation between changing of the seasons and your child's teeth, we know as pediatric dentists that summer sports can have an impact on your child's dental health.
One thing we pride ourselves on at Northwest Children's Dentistry is preventative care. We strongly believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So if you have a child playing a new sport this summer, especially one with the potential for high impact and contact with other kids, we recommend sports guards. We create custom mouth pieces for your child, which are more comfortable for your child to wear while they are on the field or at the gym.
If you want to read more about sports injury prevention, you can read what the American Dental Association has to say about mouth guards.
As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help you manage all your children's dental needs. If you have any questions about your child's dental health, feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
