Summer Safety

Summer time just screams fun, but it shouldn’t scream unplanned trips to the dentist. While many outdoor activities take place during the warmer months and festivities for holidays we want all of our patients at Young and Polite Children’s Dentistry to take care of their teeth.

Remember all of your safety rules around pools. Falls around the pool area are common ways that teeth and the facial area can become injured. Not only are pools a hot spot for injured teeth the very common bicycle has been known for some pretty nasty accidents as well.  Wear your helmet and obey all rules while riding your bike.

If you should receive an injury to the mouth that is not necessary for immediate medical assistance please call our office for further instructions and the next available appointment. Remember to place ice on and off of the injured area to help reduce swelling. A great way to help protect those teeth is a mouth guard. Mouth guards offer extra protection especially from sports injuries to the mouth.

If an injury does arise we offer our professional pediatric dental services at three locations including Mint Hill, Waxhaw, and S. Tryon. One of our team members will be happy to assist you. Don’t forget to have fun this summer and stay safe.

We are happy to announce a fun event offered at our Waxhaw location on June, 13^th. Kick off summer right with free ice cream from 12-2pm. Hurry we might be all scooped out after the first 150 participants.
