LOCAL ORTHODONTIST HELPS CHILDREN PREVENT SPORT INJURIES
April is National Facial Protection Month

San Juan Capistrano –. Mark Sayed Orthodontics is doing their part to help children playing organized sports help reduce the risk of oral injuries.  The entire month of  April  Dr. Sayed will be providing mouth sports guards for free.

A child’s mouth and face can be easily injured if the proper precautions are not used while playing sports.  In fact, according to the Centers for Disease control, more than half of the 7 million sports and recreation-related injuries are sustained by youth as young as age 5. Last year, the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation forecasted that more than 3 million teeth would be knocked out in youth sporting events-yet in a survey commissioned by the American Association of Orthodontists( AAO), 67% of parents admitted that their child does not wear a mouth guard during organized sports.

The AAO found that 84% of children do not wear mouth guards while playing organized sports because they are not required to wear them, even though they are required to wear other protective materials such as helmet and shoulder pads. Mouth guards can be one of the lease expensive pieces of protective equipment available.  Not only do mouth guards save teeth, they help protect jaws.  Children wearing braces have a slightly higher risk of oral injuries. An Orthodontist can recommend the best mouth guard for an athlete who wears braces.

“Each year I see a significant number of children with dental injuries that resulted from failure to wear a mouth guard,” said Dr. Mark Sayed orthodontist in San Juan Capistrano.  Dr. Sayed encourages parents and coaches to require mouth guards as part of a child’s uniform-for every practice and every game, that is why he is offering them at not cost.

Dr. Sayed will be fitting sports guards for children on  the entire month of April.  Must call  the office at 949-493-3993  to schedule a time slot.

Dr. Larry Diamond

   I am a general dentist in Los Alamitos for the past 20 years.

I have know Dr. Sayed for the past 19 years. He has treated both my daughter and son with braces and phase 1 interceptive appliances.

The results have been outstanding. His knowledge and attitude with parents and kids alike is calming to them.

He has a stellar reputation in San Juan Capistrano and in Los Alamitos.
I would recommend Mark to anyone who wants an innovative and progressive orthodontist.

Naomi of San Clemente

  My family has been going to Dr. Sayed for orthdontics for 10 years. Since each of my three kids turned 7yrs. old.

My oldest is now 17 and her teeth are beautiful.

My son who is 13 is finishing with braces and my little one who is almost 7 has an expander to prepare her mouth for braces when she is ready.
Prior to choosing an orthodontist, I scheduled visits with three that were highly regarded. It’s a big investment so i carefully chose the orthodontist that I found the most knowledgeable, that continued his research and education, and that was priced fairly and honestly.
I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Sayed and his staff.

Christina K of Irvine Ca

I have to give Dr. Sayed a shout out only because he has got to be the best Orthodontist in Orange County.

I live in Irvine and make the drive down to San Juan just to have Dr. Sayed work on my sons teeth.

He has a magnificent office staff and he is the most amazing Dr. around. My son has been going to him for the past year and he has made us feel so comfortable and at eaze not only about the treatment but for all the office visits.

His staff has worked with us to get situations worked out to be able to get the best results we can.

I would recommend Dr. Sayed to EVERYONE! He is definitly worth the drive and you will not be disappointed :) THANK YOU DR. SAYED

Terri H. of Laguna Niguel, CA

My sons have both had the pleasure of having Dr.Sayed for their orthodontist.

Not only is he and his staff very professional but they also are very friendly making every patient comfortable and assured they are in the best of care.

We have been patients of Dr. Sayed for over 8 years and would recommend anyone who is looking for a great SMILE to contact Dr.Sayed.

Hollye L of Murrieta, CA

First let me point out the fact that we live in Murrieta. We moved from Rancho Santa Margarita 9 years ago where I had taken my, then 3 month old, son to Dr. Jon Sayed Pediatric Dentist. After moving, we continued to visit Dr. Jon and eventually were referred to Dr. Mark. My son loved Dr. Jon for his teeth cleaning (very gentle) so why not try his brother for braces?

Dr. Mark conducted a thorough examination and put together a comprehensive plan for the years ahead and my son’s growing mouth. In first grade my son was fitted for a pallet expander (sounds worse than it is) and, because he was so young, Dr. Mark gave him a removable appliance so that he could eat properly. After 4 years of using that appliance my son sat patiently on Valentine’s day, 2011 to have braces put on.

Dr. Mark had assured me & my husband that the initial investment of time and money for the expander would mean that our son would only POSSIBLY need braces but, if he DID get them it would be only for a year or so. I can very happily say that in June of 2012 the braces came off.

Unlike many of our son’s friends who had braces when they were very young only to have them reapplied again when adult teath appeared, or have had them for several years. We are SO pleased that our son’s teeth and bite are absolutely perfect! The charges were fair and never increased, and the appointments were on time and easily made/changed. Sean, at the front desk, is extremely friendly and professional as are the assistants, etc.

We completely trusted Dr. Mark and were absolutely correct to do so! He is honest, funny, friendly, professional, and truly a joy to visit. Having his office to go to made the trips and money spent very easy to handle. There are MANY Orthontists in my area but I felt confident going to Dr. Mark and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Sincerely,
Hollye LaJeunesse

Dr. Jeffrey Jacobson

Great Orthodontist!

I am a general dentist and not only do I refer my patients to Dr. Sayed, my family and friends go there too.

He and his staff are well trained, professional, and all ’round nice people. Upon your arrival to the office your greeted like long time friends. Shawn, the office manager who’s been there for years, has a professional, polite and friendly disposition.

The back office staff is caring and deliver orthodontic treatment with a gentle touch.

Dr. Sayed is not happy unless his patients are happy. Everything is explained prior to treatment and all questions are answered. The office decor is chic, modern and clean. To go to any other orthodontist would be accepting second best.

Carrie T. of Las Vegas Nevada

My son has been a patient of Dr. Sayed’s for 6 years. He was only 7 when he started receiving orthodontic treatment and the staff has always been extremely patient, kind, and encouraging.

Dr. Sayed knows everyone by name, remembers which children belong to which parents, and takes a genuine interest in all of their lives.

He offers so much more than just orthodontic care! The office is warm and inviting and you are always greeted with a smile upon entering.

About a year and a half ago, our family relocated to Las Vegas, NV and my son had not yet completed his course of orthodontic treatment. The idea of getting a new orthodontist near our new home never even crossed our minds.

To this day, we continue to make trips back to Southern California whenever the need arises so he can continue to be a patient of Dr. Sayed’s. When you find outstanding people offering outstanding customer service and care, you hold onto it no matter what!!

Cindy R. of San Clemente

        All of my 3 kids have had orthodontics from Dr. Sayed; myself included!!

We have had a great experience with their staff and the care that we have received.
Some early treatment was required for my son, but not my two daughters (they skipped directly to phase 2)-I appreciate the candidness and honesty with what needed to be done and did not feel there was treatment that was at too early of an age.

My 14 year old daughter recently got her braces off and won “Best Smile” for the 8th grade at Shorecliffs middle school for her class.
