Most people don’t think about toothaches until they actually get one, and then they will do just about anything to get ride of the toothache.
So be prepared for coming toothache (better not coming).
The spring sports season is upon us. According to the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation (NYSSF), student athletes account for a significant part of the 15 million dental injuries and the five million cases of traumatically lost teeth that occur every year.
Teeth usually break as a result of trauma — from biting down on something hard, for example, or from a blow to the face. A child may fracture a tooth falling off a bike or curb during play. Cavities that have weakened the tooth also can cause chipping or fractures.
