No pain, no gain, right? Kids are surprisingly tough little creatures. In my very own elementary school, we had lots of sports related mishaps. Playing soccer, little Chad crashed into the goal post and had to get stiches on his head. I got smacked in the face with a basketball and nearly broke my nose. Kids fell off the monkey bars, tripped and scraped their knees playing tag, and twisted ankles playing kickball. It's a natural part of life.
Then there was organized sports. Junior Jazz games never ended without at least one injury: a basketball to the face, a jammed finger, an elbow in the eye, or some floor burns. But did that stop us from playing? No way. The same went for local soccer leagues, swim and diving classes, volleyball, and so on. Getting hurt is part of being a kid.
It had just started and Tame thought it would ease his pains but as the movie went on he began to realize that it was going to do just the opposite. He watched as Tom Hank's character took an ice skate to his tooth and was about to take the tooth out with it.
These protective measures avert serious, potentially lasting injuries like broken bones, concussions, brain damage, and drowning. But there is one more thing that people often forget: mouth guards. Just because baby teeth eventually fall out, that doesn't mean they aren't important.
Tame didn't sleep that whole night. He just withered and wiggled in pain. He was so tired that he had to take the bus instead of driving to the dentist in Sandy, UT. Finally sleep took over and he was out like a light. When he reached the stop for the dentist he was barely able to walk because of the pain he was feeling in his mouth and head.
Talking was almost impossible, as the dentist soon realized when he started asking Tame questions. He soon switched over to yes or no questions that could be answered with the nod of a head.
For more serious breaks, your cosmetic dentist in Sandy, UT might use a crown or cap, which basically replaces your outer layer of tooth with a strong, tooth-shaped cap. Worst case scenario, you'll have to undergo a root canal (ouch, and yikes) or lose your tooth completely.
So don't deprive your kids the joy and experience of sporting activities because of the possibility of injury. There are plenty of protective measures you can take that ensure their safety and allow them to be a kid!
