Mouthguards for Sports
Protecting smiles on the field
Active kids deserve smiles that stay safe. A custom-fitted sports mouthguard cushions teeth, lips and jaws from the bumps of play — far better than a one-size-fits-all version, and comfy enough that your child will actually wear it.
From soccer and basketball to skateboarding and martial arts, active play is wonderful for growing kids — but it does come with the occasional knock. A blow to the face can chip, loosen or even knock out a tooth, and injuries to the lips, tongue and jaw are common too. A well-made mouthguard is one of the simplest, most effective ways to keep your young athlete's smile safe.
While store-bought guards offer some protection, a custom mouthguard made just for your child is in a different league. Because we shape it to the exact contours of their teeth, it fits snugly and comfortably, stays put during play, and doesn't interfere with breathing or talking. And the more comfortable a mouthguard is, the more likely your child is to actually keep it in — which is the whole point.
Why a custom fit wins
- Superior cushioning that absorbs and spreads impact
- A snug, secure fit that won't slip or fall out mid-game
- Comfortable enough that kids forget they're wearing it
- Easy breathing and clear speech for calling plays
- Fun colors your child gets to pick themselves
Quick, easy and even fun
Getting a custom guard is a breeze. We take a quick, comfortable impression or digital scan of your child's teeth, and your child gets to choose from a rainbow of colors and patterns to make it truly theirs. A short time later, their personalized mouthguard is ready to protect every grin on the field. It's a small step that can save a lot of pain, worry and dental bills.
Caring for the mouthguard
Mouthguards are easy to look after. We'll show your child how to rinse it after each use, brush it gently, and store it in its ventilated case so it stays fresh. Because kids' mouths grow and change quickly, we'll check the fit at regular visits and make a new one when needed — especially as permanent teeth come in.
If your child plays any sport with a risk of contact or falls, a mouthguard is well worth it. Protecting baby and permanent teeth now helps avoid trauma that could affect their smile for years. Ask us about a custom guard before the season starts, and let your young athlete play hard knowing their smile is well protected.
Frequently asked questions
Does my child need a mouthguard for non-contact sports?
Often yes — falls and accidental knocks happen in many sports, from basketball to skateboarding. A guard protects against the unexpected.
Why not just buy one from the store?
Custom guards fit far better, protect more effectively and are more comfortable, so kids actually wear them. Store versions are bulky and slip easily.
How often should it be replaced?
Kids grow fast, so we check the fit at each visit and make a new one as their teeth and mouth change, especially as adult teeth come in.
