Why are Mouth Guards Important?

Mouthguards are vital for safeguarding your child's teeth during sports and physical activities. They provide a cushioning effect that absorbs the impact of blows to the mouth, reducing the risk of broken teeth, cuts to the lips and cheeks, and even jaw fractures.

By wearing a mouth guard, your child can enjoy their favorite activities, knowing their smile is well-protected.

How Often Should I Replace My Mouth Guard?

While you may need to replace stock mouthguards every few months, our custom-made mouthguards are built to last and can provide several years of reliable protection. However, please check for signs of wear and tear periodically and visit our dental office to see if you need a replacement.
