Summer Safety Tips

Wear a mouth guard for any sporting activity, such as soccer, volleyball, baseball or hockey! Mouthguards are inexpensive and can help prevent jaw, mouth and teeth injuries. Your dentist can help you with getting the right mouthguard for your child.

Wear a helmet for activities such as riding a bicycle, scooter or skateboard! Helmets protect your head by absorbing the energy of an impact.

Keep babies and toddlers safe. They crawl and climb, so pad sharp corners of tables, use safety locks on cabinets, install stairwell safety gates and secure windows. And since curious toddlers often put things in their mouths, hide electrical cords to prevent oral burns.

Speak to your pediatric dentist what you should do in case your child has a dental emergency.
