- Spring is just around the corner and children will be taking their pent
- up energy to the playgrounds, baseball diamonds and bike trails,
- Unfortunately, along with these outdoor activities come occasional accidents.
- Many of these accidents will involve children's teeth, teeth that will be
- broken chipped or dislodged by a stinging line drive or a skateboard that
- slips from beneath the feet. Mouth guards can help prevent damage to the
- teeth during contact sports, but when an accident occurs without protection,
- the resulting blow to the tooth can stop its growth. And in those really
- serious situations, an intact tooth may be knocked out of the mouth. The
- American Association of Endodontists (root canal specialists) wants you to
- know that there is help available when this occurs. With today's advanced
- technology, many of these teeth may be replanted. But there are a few
- precautions you need to know about. To this end, the Association has prepared
- an interesting sheet, humorously illustrated, to provide you with all the
- information necessary. You may obtain your copy, as well as other free
- brochures and tips, by sending a stamped self addressed envelope to The
- American Association of Endodontists, Dept AB, 211 East Chicago Avenue, Suite
- 1501 Chicago, IL 60611
