Dental Trauma
Now kids are sometimes a little rough and tend to go into things at a hundred miles an hour so dental trauma is a real possibility at this stage of life. Taking measures to avoid trauma is always a great idea.
If they are playing contact sports, ensure they have properly fitted mouthguards. Having a custom-made mouthguard from your dentist is recommended. A custom-made mouthguard will not only be more comfortable it will be more effective if there is any direct impact made with the mouth or jaw.
If your child chips, fractures, or suffers a dental trauma, contact your dentist immediately. If the tooth has been completely knocked out, immerse it in milk and contact your dentist. If you act quick enough your dentist may be able to replace the tooth. Read more about what to do in a Dental Emergency.
