Can you believe summer is fading so quickly? As the weather stays warm through September, the chances for athletes to sustain a mouth injury get likelier and likelier because of all the sports they play over the summer, including practicing for fall sports. Dr. Berger and our staff would like to remind you to always take care of both your mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports.The American Association of Orthodontists has six quick tips for keeping kids safe during sport activities.
• Wear mouth guards during contact sports
• 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
All of these serve to reduce injuries. Give us a call at (310) 542 7331 if you have any questions about mouth guards or your orthodontic treatment.
