Why Choose a Custom-Made Mouthguard for Your Child?

Each year dentists see many children with dental injuries sustained during sports and which include damage to the teeth and jaws, or even teeth that have been knocked out completely. These injuries can be upsetting for a child and may lead to a lifetime of costly restorative dental care.

This is why we thoroughly recommend parents purchase a custom-made mouthguard which is fabricated by taking an impression of your child’s mouth. Made from a tough, durable material that is odour and taste free, custom-made mouthguards are specifically designed to provide the maximum amount of protection during sports, cushioning your child’s teeth without hindering their breathing.

We take great care to ensure our custom-made mouthguards will stay in place and most importantly that they are comfortable to wear. When a mouthguard feels comfortable, a child is far more likely to use it. In contrast, over-the-counter mouthguards offer minimal protection, are more likely to fall out and can be very uncomfortable to wear.
