Patient Care

 

Emergency Care

emergency-careReal Orthodontic emergencies are seldom, but when those irritating mishaps with your hardware do occur, we are available to you at one of our nearby locations. You are encouraged to call our office if you are experiencing any prolongued discomfort or should you have an appliance problem that you or a parent are unable to take care of. In these events, we'll schedule an appointment at our earliest availability to help resolve the problem and put you more at ease.

NOTE: It is helpful to know that you may be able to temporarily solve or diminish the effects of many problems yourself with a little "coaching". We'll be happy to help!

When working with your orthodontic appliances, you should know the proper names of the parts so that you can properly identify and communicate what part is broken or out of place. After alleviating any immediate discomfort, it is very important that you still call our office to schedule a time to repair the problem professionally. Allowing your appliance to remain damaged or out of place for an extended period of time may result in disruptions in your treatment plan.

If you or your child is uncomfortable and you cannot correct the problem yourself, please call our office at 1-888-445-5372 and we will try and assist you over the phone. If you call after hours, follow the instructions given to page our on-call clinician. They will return your call promptly and help you.

Mouthguards

mouthguardsGive your mouth a sporting chance - wear a mouthguard!

Experts recommend that mouthguards be worn during any recreational sport that might injure the mouth area. As the name implies, mouthguards help prevent injury to the mouth area, especially to the teeth, lips, cheeks and tongue. Mouthguards also protect against head and neck injuries by cushioning blows that might otherwise cause concussions or jaw fractures.

Who should wear a mouthguard?

Anyone engaging in rigorous sports activities that could harm the facial region should wear a mouthguard. Mouthguards are most commonly used in collision sports. In New Hampshire, the NHIAA requires the use of mouthguards in the contact sports of basketball and soccer. No matter what your age or level of participation - from child to adult - from backyard play to organized team sports and school athletics - a mouthguard, the most inexpensive and easily obtained piece of sports equipment, can go a long way in preventing serious injury to the head and mouth.

If you participate in any of the following sports or activities, you should wear a mouthguard:

  • Acrobatics, Baseball, Basketball, Biking, Boxing, Discus Throwing, Field Hockey, Football, Gymnastics, Handball, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse, Martial Arts, Racquetball, Rollerblading, Rugby, Shotputting, Skateboarding, Skiing, Skydiving, Soccer, Squash, Softball, Surfing, Volleyball, Water Polo, Weightlifting
  • Each of these has the potential to seriously harm the head, face or mouth as a result of head-to-head contact, hazardous tooth clenching, or flying pieces of equipment. A single, well-constructed mouthguard can be used for any of these activities, making it a versatile and inexpensive piece of equipment.
