Avoiding serious injuries for young Houston athletes
SUMMARY: Young athletes are at risk for overuse injuries, especially with year-round play. Health reporter Haley Hernandez emphasizes the importance of rest. A Texas Children's sports medicine specialist advises summer breaks to prevent injuries, such as knee, elbow, and shoulder problems common among young baseball players. Overuse injuries often stem from lack of rest between seasons. Kids who play year-round are more likely to experience these issues. Dr. Joseph Chlee recommends taking at least four months off or switching sports to avoid overstressing growth plates. Key advice includes not over-pitching, alternating sports, and allowing time for recovery to prevent long-term damage.

Rhode Island man suffers serious complications after botched veneer procedure in Houston
SUMMARY: Back in March, Shiron Robinson underwent a veneer procedure at Forever Veneers, an unlicensed Houston clinic, which cost him $8,700. Misled by their Instagram page boasting 54,000 followers and seemingly satisfied clients, Robinson flew from Rhode Island for the procedure. Post-treatment, he experienced severe issues including trouble chewing, open pockets in his gums, and a veneer coming off. It was revealed that Jaden Moror, who performed the procedure, lacked a dentistry license and now faces felony charges. Robinson continues to face significant dental problems and financial strain, seeking further dental care while cautioning others against misleading social media advertisements.
