When I was 17, I was hit in the mouth with a baseball. That ball knocked my two front teeth out. By the end of that day, I had dental implants put in place. Now that I am the father of two very active boys, I use what I had learned in my youth to help guide them and get through each day. My oldest son just turned 16 and suffered a mouth injury while playing football with some friends. Thanks to my own experience, I knew that I had to act fast. Since then, I have begun to learn as much about dental injuries as possible so that I can be prepared for the next incident. It is my hope that others can learn from what I have included in my website so that they can also be prepared for the worst.
