Facial Protection During Sports

It's important to remember that once your kids have their adult teeth, they don't get any more. So it is important to take very good care of them - they'll need to last a lifetime!

Kids don't think about the lifetime of oral health issues they could incur by not using adequate mouth and facial protection while playing in sports. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) indicates that 80% of all sports-related emergency room visits occur in children ages 5 to 14. Don't let your child become part of that statistic. If worn properly and routinely, inexpensive mouth guards, helmets, protective eyewear, and face shields greatly reduce the risk of injury.

At Hi5 Dental - Cedar Hills Dentistry for Kids, Dr. Pham can help protect your child's teeth from long-term injury with custom made mouthguards. Be sure to give us a call two to four weeks prior to the beginning of the sports season to allow for enough time to schedule your child's initial impression visit, fabrication time, and fitting. Together, we can preserve your son or daughter's teeth through many years of sports and fitness!
