May & Physical Fitness & Sports: The Dental Connection!

Did you know that the month of May is designated as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month?  After all, there isn't a better time to celebrate physical activity as the warmer weather and sunshine make their way back into our lives!

As the flowers are blooming and the weather warming, it's easier to get outside and go hiking, jogging, biking, or simply take a stroll in the park to enjoy the smell of the grass or take in the rays and the blue sky!  If jogging or biking isn't your cup of tea, then trying other sports activities can provide you some amazing health benefits that are often overlooked.  Team sports like baseball and soccer, and individual sports like golf or tennis, can improve your coordination and agility, as well as build determination, confidence, hard-work, leadership, and time management.

At Thomas Family Dentistry, we always encourage our patients to stay fit by exercising or participating in sports.  However, we want to remind you to always wear a mouthguard or some other form of facial protection when playing sports.  To learn more about the benefits of a custom mouthguard or if you are in need of a dental appointment, call our office at 918-455-0123!

God Bless,
DRT
