A Must Read on Sports & Dental Injuries

Back to School .. Back to Sports Great article from dear doctor on sports injuries - what to do ..

I thought I'd share this important information on sports injuries, for adults and kids ready to hit the field, golf course or the courts.   It includes:

Immediate - Within 5 minutes - a tooth completely knocked out

Urgent - Within 6 Hours - tooth is still in the mouth, but has been moved

Less Urgent - Within 12 Hours - teeth are broken or chipped
