Wouldn’t you believe it, it’s already springtime! The spring months bring an increase in outdoor activities which also means a greater chance of kids damaging their precious mouths and pearly whites. April is National Facial Protection Month and if you play sports, it's important that you consult Dr. Rinaldo Caponera for special precautions, such as wearing a mouth guard. A protective mouth guard is advised for playing spring sports such as baseball, soccer, lacrosse and others. Be sure, however, to avoid mouth guards that custom form to your teeth as these will resist any tooth movements we are trying to achieve. In case of any accident involving the face, check your mouth and the appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances damaged, please schedule an appointment with Caponera Orthodontics. Let Dr. Caponera know if you need help finding the right mouth guard for the best protection.
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 Caponera Orthodontics.
