Dental Care for Athletes
Laser Dental Care is very pleased to have as part of our team Dr. Nicole Mermet,. An endurance athlete, she brings to the practice an awareness and a program of prevention and diagnosis that addresses the particular needs of serious (and occasional) athletes. As she explains, “Just as our quadriceps, hamstrings and hip flexors give us power on the bike or a run, our teeth are the initial workhorses of our digestive systems. We can all appreciate how important nutrition is on a 6-hour workout, and while many of us love our bars, most of us do not have a toothbrush or fluoridated toothpaste in our bento box or fuel belt. Our dentition, however, does have to stay healthy to keep us fueled.”
We invite you to make an appointment to meet with Dr. Mermet if you’d like to learn more about how you can ensure that your teeth are in as good shape as the rest of you. After all, life is a really long race!
