Do you have a son or daughter that plays Alexandria youth sports? Soccer, baseball, football, basketball and gymnastics can be very dangerous to your child’s teeth. Football is a violent contact sport, yet there is a relatively low rate of tooth injuries that occur in football as compared to other contact sports. Why? Football players are required to wear a mouth guard and a helmet.
Inexpensive athletic dental mouth guards are worth their weight in gold!
If your child participates in a contact sport in Alexandria and does not currently wear a tooth protection device, you may want to purchase an appropriately-sized mouth guard. They are available at most local athletic supply stores.
At Mt. Vernon Center for Dentistry family dentistry in Alexandria VA, we care about your child’s health and safety. To discuss your child’s dental condition or to learn more about sports-related tooth injury prevention, call us at 703-360-5881. Preventative care is often less expensive than restorative dentistry. We have been keeping Alexandria smiles healthy for over 20 years. Our child-friendly staff pampers even our youngest dental patients. Let us show you why we are not an ordinary Alexandria cosmetic dental practice.
