REMEMBER

  • More than 1 in 10 children suffer from injuries to their front teeth.
  • Most teeth replaced within 15 to 30 minutes become re-attached and function normally.
  • A properly fitting mouthguard will prevent injuries to teeth and also reduce the number of face and neck injuries.
  • Copy a Dental Emergency number from your telephone book.
