Summer break = way more pediatric dental injuries than most parents expect. Bikes, scooters, skateboards, basically anything on wheels (ahem-see previous post) plus sports and slippery pool decks… at Brush we see these accidents DAILY.
In fact, just today we saw a child after an electric scooter accident with facial injuries, arm and leg lacerations and multiple chipped/broken teeth 💔 We are beyond grateful all of these injuries are treatable
A few reminders from the Brush doctors this summer:
• helmets matter
• mouth guards help during sports
• watch cracked sidewalks + pavement
• check both ways before crossing alleys, driveways and streets
• face protection for baseball is worth it (c-flaps for the win!)
And if a dental injury does happen, call your pediatric dentist first. Some injuries are more urgent than others 🦷
