  • Why Dental Implants Are Nothing To Fear For Young People

    If you are below the age of fifty, you probably were not expecting any serious kind of dental work this early on in your life. Everyone kind of expects to one day end up with dentures or false teeth, but getting them done so early can come as quite a shock. There are many reasons why this can be necessary, from accidents that crush your teeth to serious decay and genetic defects.

Children's Sports and Dental Injuries

As a mum, I know how essential sport can be to children's development. Through team sports like soccer, kids learn persistence, sportsmanship and the value of supporting their team members. However, all that learning carries some risk as well, and a stray elbow or a ball to the face can result in oral injuries. I have been the mum rushing to the emergency room with a precious permanent tooth sitting in a cup of milk. Admittedly, at the time, I wasn't even sure if the cup of milk was the right solution. As a parent, you will face those situations, and I'm here to make sure you know what to do when they pop up. With this blog, let's explore children's dentistry and sports injuries together... I want you to have the info you need to stay cool, calm and collected, regardless of how many teeth are on the pitch.
