Summer Pool Safety Tips!

Summer is definitely here, and with summer comes lots of swimming! Our team at Thomas Family Dentistry found an article on some helpful pool safety tips that we wanted to pass along to you, our valued patients.

• Pools need to be enclosed on all sides with a four-feet high fence.
• Pool gates need to open out, self-close and self-latch.
• Children should never be left alone at the pool, even for a moment.
• Pool rescue equipment include: a shepherd's hook, a life preserver, and a portable phone.
• "Floaties" are NOT approved life vests.
• Infants and toddlers should always be within arm's length when on or around the pool.

Hopefully, these pool safety tips can remind all of us how to have a safe and fun summer at the pool while surviving the Oklahoma heat!  If you have any questions for our team, call our dental office at 918-455-0123.

God Bless,
