In older children and adults, sports injuries are common. Dentists estimate that between 13 per cent and 39 per cent of dental injuries occur while playing sports. About 80 per cent of all dental injuries affect at least one of the front teeth. Damage to the tongue or cheek is common, too. Custom-fitting mouth guards are the best way of protecting teeth while playing sport. They act by absorbing energy from any blow and thus prevent (or at least vastly reduce) the chance of costly and painful dental injury.

I cannot believe it is already the end of April, which always reminds me that I can finally wear my spring clothes. Spring always brings numerous events and occasions, and while most of us tend to focus on shopping for special occasions, casual day wear shopping is often left to the last minute.

The key to great spring casual daywear is to choose timeless pieces and ensembles that will work with your existing wardrobe. Jeans or skinnies are a must, but city shorts, practical jumpsuits, and coloured dresses are super alternatives. Give your wardrobe a minor boost with spring key looks and get ready to dazzle.
