Tackling sports injuries with Dr. Kathleen Tavarez

Wouldn’t you believe it, it’s almost springtime! The spring months, however, bring an increase in outdoor activities and a greater chance of damaging your precious mouth and pearly whites. If you play sports such as baseball and soccer, it's important that you consult Dr. Tavarez for special precautions. A protective mouth guard is advised for playing contact spring sports. 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 Tavarez Orthodontics.

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 Tavarez Orthodontics.
