Safety Chart

Sports-related injuries, accidental falls, and fights are the most common causes of tooth injuries in kids. However, these aren’t the only ways in which your child could get hurt.

Did you know that your child’s upper front teeth are most affected by accidents, while teeth in the back of the mouth are usually injured by chewing on ice or other hard objects? In case of an accident, fall, or an object striking against your child’s teeth, you might find that your child’s tooth becomes cracked, chipped, or sometimes even detached from its socket.

You might worry about something happening to your child’s teeth, but don’t forget that in many cases, prevention is better than cure. Show your child how to take care of their teeth with the help of this dental safety chart, and you can save your child from any mishaps or tears!
