Sports Dentistry Prevention & Treatment

Sports can put teeth, lips, and gums at risk of injury. A well-fitting mouthguard can help protect your child during practices and games, including activities where contact is possible.

Protective mouthguards

A custom mouthguard is made to fit your child’s teeth and can be more comfortable than many ready-made options. Ask us whether a custom guard is appropriate for your child’s sport and dental development.

Why sports injuries matter

A mouthguard helps cushion impact and may reduce the risk or severity of injuries to the teeth and soft tissues. It should fit securely and be worn consistently during sports and practices.

When to schedule a consultation

If your child plays a sport with a risk of contact or impact, ask us about mouthguard options. We can assess the fit and discuss what may work best for your child.
