With summer in full force, our team at Henagan Team Dentistry thought today would be a great time to remind all our young athletes to take care of their mouth while participating in sports – especially contact sports – this summer.
Common dental injuries in sports during the summer include:
• Knocked out tooth/teeth
• Chipped tooth/teeth
• Displaced teeth
One of the best, and most convenient, ways to prevent injury to your teeth and mouth while playing sports is to wear a mouthguard. There are several types of mouthguards to choose from, and our team at Henagan Team Dentistry can help you choose the best one for your particular needs.
Only by using a mouth guard can people avoid serious sports injuries. The next time you’re in for a visit at our New Iberia office, we encourage you to ask us for a mouth guard!
