Saving face with Bishop Orthodontics this summer

With summer finally here, we at Bishop Orthodontics thought it would be a good time to remind our athletes in treatment to take care of their mouth and appliances when out on the field. After all, the summer months bring with them a greater chance of our athletes damaging their teeth since you are out and about and/or playing sports. If you are playing sports this summer, it's important that you consult Dr. Alton Bishop for precautions, such as wearing a mouth guard. Mouth guards are advised by Dr. Bishop and staff for playing summer sports such as baseball, soccer, lacrosse and many, many others.

In case of any accident involving the face this summer, we want you to check your mouth and appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or your appliances are damaged, please call us right away. And don’t forget to ask us—Dr. Bishop will be happy to provide a mouth guard for any patient in active treatment!

The bottom line is, 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 if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment at our office.

We hope you're enjoying your Independence Day weekend! Get some sun!
