Dr. Farrah Agahi, helping you save face this summer

Wouldn’t you believe it, summer 2010 is already two weeks old! At Smiles by Farrah, our team knows that the summer months bring with them an increase in outdoor activities and a greater chance of our athletes in treatment damaging their teeth. If you're playing sports this summer, it's important that you consult Austin orthodontist Dr. Farrah Agahi for special precautions, such as wearing a mouth guard. Mouth guards, Dr. Farrah will tell you, are advised for playing spring sports such as baseball, soccer, lacrosse and many, many others.

In case of any accident involving the face this summer, we want you to check your mouth and appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances are damaged, please schedule an appointment to see Dr. Farrah immediately. And don’t forget to ask us—we will be happy to provide a mouth guard for any patient in treatment!

Only by using a mouth guard and other forms of facial protection can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. Please give us a call at 512-634-8254 if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment with Dr. Farrah.

We hope you all have a GREAT rest of your Independence Day weekend! Get some sun and be careful with those fireworks!
