Jefferson Dental Clinics has a few tips and a great infographic for you to find out more facts about Summer Sports Dental Injuries. (Click on the infographic to see it larger!)
- In case of an accidental tooth loss, keep calm and place the tooth in a glass of milk, then hurry to the dentist.

- Healthy habits run in the family! Parents that model good dental hygiene habits pass them along to their kids.
