Item Description

Athletic Mouthguards

If you’re the parent of an avid athlete, you know the importance of proper protective gear. But did you know that up to 40 percent of all sports injuries involve the face? Protect your child’s smile with a comfortable, custom-molded mouthguard to dramatically reduce the risk of sports-related oral injury.

What is a Mouthguard?

A mouthguard is a comfortable piece of athletic gear that fits over the teeth and can help protect your child’s smile, as well as his or her lips, tongue, face, and jaw. New research indicates that mouthguards can even reduce the severity of concussions.

While hockey, boxing, and rugby players would obviously benefit from mouthguards, others, like skateboarders and gymnasts, made the ADA’s list of athletes who need mouthguards. This may sound excessive, but studies show that 13 to 39 percent of all dental injuries are sports related. Because the face is an important part of your child’s image and self confidence it’s better to be safe than…toothless!

Custom-Made Mouthguards

Custom-made mouthguards are comfortable, practical, and protective. A dentist or lab technician creates the custom-made mouthguard after taking impressions of your child’s teeth.
