The cliffs at DUMBO and Golconda Skate Park are entertaining and fun. You should enjoy your time when indulging in these activities. However, be mindful of your smile.
Activities that can lead to slips and falls or collisions with others are always worrisome for your Brooklyn dentist. Fortunately, there are precautions you can take to protect your teeth and gums while having fun.
Tips to Protect Your Smile While Having Fun
There’s plenty of fun to be had in our neighborhood, but we want to help you avoid chipped teeth, fractures, and dental emergencies!
Consider these tips:
- Climbing the Cliffs at DUMBO: We believe this activity warrants the use of a mouthguard. It is easy to slip and tumble! Remember, custom mouthguards in DUMBO offer more protection than those bought in sporting goods shops.
- Having a Blast at the Golconda Skate Park: Skate all day, but keep your teeth and gums safe from skating rink collisions and other accidents! Discuss a custom mouthguard with your dentist.
- Indulging in Sweets: If you’re spending the day outdoors and indulging in sweets and snacks, be sure to drink plenty of water to help wash away some of the debris. You may also consider carrying a travel-sized rinse in your pocket. Tooth decay isn’t an injury, but you can still avoid it!
Is It Time for Your Next Checkup and Teeth Cleaning?
The best protection for your smile is regular checkups and teeth cleanings in DUMBO. These visits should be part of overall prevention that includes brushing and flossing at least twice daily.
Your dental checkup and cleaning are non-invasive and relaxing. After your appointment, the dentist shares all findings with you, answers your questions, and lays out treatment options if applicable.
