Protecting your mouth during sports, with Green Orthodontics


At Green Orthodontics, we can't believe summer is right around the corner! We know however that while the spring and summer months bring with them an increase in outdoor activities, they also bring a greater chance of kids - especially athletes - damaging their precious pearly whites. If you play sports, it's important that you consult Dr. Nettles Green for special precautions, such as wearing a mouth guard. A protective mouth guard is advised for playing spring sports such as baseball, soccer, lacrosse and many others.

We were reminded about the need to wear mouth guards after reading an article this week about hockey player Keith Tkachuk, who needed facial surgery after taking a hockey puck to the mouth. Tkachuk’s injury underscores the need for all athletes - young or old - to use facial protection.

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 at our office. And don’t forget to ask us—Dr. Green will be happy to provide a mouth guard for any patient in active 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 at 803-462-5533 if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment with Dr. Green.
