- Dr. Rooney and team
Let’s face it: sports related injuries are common among kids, let alone teens with braces. In a 2009 survey, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontics, or AAO, discovered that 70 percent of parents said their biggest fear is that their child will get hurt while playing organized sports.
If you play any sports, it’s important that you consult Dr. Rooney for special precautions, including wearing a mouth guard, which is advised for playing sports such as football, basketball, hockey, wrestling, volleyball, or even touch-football in the backyard.
In case of any accident involving the face, check your mouth and the appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances are damaged, please schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. And don’t forget to ask us – Dr. Rooney will provide a mouth guard for any patient in treatment!
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 or ask us on Facebook if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment!
Happy Monday, and enjoy the rest of the week!
