Fall sports season is upon is, and Dr. Josh Goldknopf would like to take this time to remind our young athletes in orthodontic treatment to take care of both your mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports (and non-contact sports) as well.
If you play fall sports, or are planning on participating in winter sports, please remember to:
• Wear mouth guards during contact sports
• Wear a helmet
• Stretch before and after a game or practice
• Wear protective eye wear
• Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin
• Be observant—even as a spectator
Remember, only by using a mouth guard can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. The next time you're in for a visit with Dr. Goldknopf, be sure to ask him for a mouth guard! Have a great weekend.
