Why Your Child Needs a Mouth Guard
Sports-related dental injuries are more common than you might think — and they can be serious. A custom-fit mouth guard acts as a cushion that absorbs impact and protects your child’s:
| • |
Teeth from chipping, cracking, or being knocked out
|
| • |
Gums and soft tissues from cuts and bruises
|
| • |
Jawbone from fractures or dislocations
|
| • |
Brain by reducing the risk of concussions during collisions |
Investing in a well-made mouth guard now can save thousands in emergency dental care later.
Types of Mouth Guards
There are three main types of athletic mouth guards available:
| • |
Stock Mouth Guards - Inexpensive and ready-made, but often bulky, uncomfortable, and ineffective.
|
| • |
Boil-and-Bite Mouth Guards - Molded at home after heating. Slightly better fit, but still limited protection.
|
| • |
Custom-Fit Mouth Guards - Fabricated by our team using 3D imaging of your child’s mouth. Offers superior comfort, stability, and protection. |
We highly recommend custom mouth guards for children and teens playing contact or high-risk sports.
Caring for a Mouth Guard
Proper care helps extend the life of the mouth guard and keep it clean:
| • |
Rinse before and after each use
|
| • |
Brush with toothpaste or wash with mild soap
|
| • |
Store in a ventilated hard case
|
| • |
Avoid direct sunlight or hot temperatures
|
| • |
Replace immediately if damaged or ill-fitting |
