Does your child play an after school sport?  Take precautions and make sure they are playing safely this spring and summer!  

Mouthguards are one of the best ways to prevent dental injury when playing contact sports.  These protective guards help absorb the shock experienced by an accidental blow to the face.  It's important to keep tiny teeth protected when playing sports, whether for a team or at home.

These are just a few of the contact sports that kids should protect their teeth during.

Contact Sports:

• Baseball
• Softball
• Lacrosse
• Soccer
• Volleyball
• Basketball
