Protecting Your Child’s Teeth During Sports
It’s estimated that over 20 million children participate in after-school sports and activities such as skiing, gymnastics, and martial arts. With so many young athletes, the risk of injury is higher—and up to 20% of these injuries involve fractured or damaged teeth.
Our doctors can create a custom sports mouthguard for your child. After taking an impression of their teeth, a mouthguard is fabricated to fit their unique smile perfectly.
When worn consistently, a sports mouthguard helps protect your child’s teeth, jaws, and lips from injury. Since your child only gets one set of permanent teeth, a properly fitted mouthguard is an important way to keep them safe.
