With fall sports close to wrapping up and winter sports right around the corner, many patients here at
Scott Orthodontic Associates, will once again pick up the ball, bring the cleats out of seasonal retirement and hit the fields for the return of sports action! During this time, however,
Dr. Gregory Scott and our team urge our young athletes to play it safe when out on the field. Here are a few ways to ensure your mouth’s safety this fall and winter, courtesy of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists:
1. Wear mouth guards for contact sports such as basketball, wrestling and hockey
2. Wear a helmet
3. Wear protective eyewear
4. Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin
5. Be alert, even as a spectator
We hope that helps!
Dr. Scott and team will tell you protective gear is vital for anyone engaging in tooth or mouth-threatening activities. If you have any further questions about any of these tips, please contact our office or ask us on
Facebook. Stay safe!
Happy holidays from all of us at Scott Orthodontic Associates! As you probably know, you can always connect with Dr. Scott and our team on our Facebook page, but we also encourage you to call us and let us know if you have any new phone numbers or if your contact information has changed!
With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season knocking at our door, our entire team at Scott Orthodontic Associates wanted to stop for a moment and extend our best wishes to you, our patients, referring doctors and families, for a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Believe it or not, we’re almost in full holiday mode! But before you go celebrating, Dr. Gregory Scott and our team at Scott Orthodontic Associates want to know: What are your plans for November? Do you have plans for Thanksgiving? Are you planning a winter vacation? If so, we’d love to hear all about it!
