Covino Orthodontics, helping you save face this spring

With spring here, many children, teens and adults in Doylestown and New Hope will once again pick up the ball, bring the bat out of seasonal retirement, and lace up their cleats to hit the fields for the return of spring sports! April is National Facial Protection Month, and during this time, Dr. Steven Covino and our dedicated team urge our young athletes to play it safe when out on the field. According to the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation, children, high-school athletes and adults will have more than 5,000,000 teeth knocked out in sporting events this year.

The video above, courtesy of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists, has some helpful tips on staying safe on the field. Dr. Covino will tell you that protective gear is vital for anyone engaging in tooth or mouth-threatening activities. If you have any further questions about any of the tips offered in the video, please contact Covino Orthodontics. And remember to have fun and stay safe!
