What Are Pediatric Sports Mouthguards?
Pediatric sports mouthguards are protective dental appliances worn over the teeth during sports and physical activities. They help cushion impacts to the mouth and reduce the risk of injuries involving the teeth, lips, cheeks, tongue, and other oral tissues. Mouthguards may benefit children participating in contact, collision, and recreational activities where a fall or impact could injure the mouth.
Unlike basic store-bought options, a custom sports mouthguard is created according to your child’s teeth and bite. A secure, comfortable fit can make the appliance easier to keep in place while running, speaking, and breathing. Because children’s mouths continue to develop, the mouthguard should be checked regularly for changes in fit, wear, or damage.

Child-Focused Dental Care
We explain the fitting process in simple language and help your child feel comfortable throughout the appointment.
Customized Fit
Each mouthguard is designed around your child’s teeth and bite for a more secure and comfortable fit than many standard options.
Protection for Active Children
We recommend mouthguard protection based on the type of sport, level of contact, and your child’s individual dental needs.
Comfortable Design
A properly fitted mouthguard is designed to remain securely in place without requiring your child to constantly bite down on it.
Support for Growing Smiles
We consider developing teeth and jaw growth when planning the mouthguard and check its fit during future dental visits.
Clear Care Instructions
Parents and children receive practical guidance about wearing, cleaning, storing, and replacing the sports mouthguard.
Benefits of Pediatric Sports Mouthguards
Protects Teeth From Trauma
A sports mouthguard helps cushion direct impacts that could otherwise lead to chipped, fractured, loosened, or knocked-out teeth.
Shields Soft Oral Tissues
The appliance creates a protective layer between the teeth and soft tissues, helping lower the risk of injuries to the lips, tongue, cheeks, and gums.
Provides a Secure Fit
A custom-fitted mouthguard is shaped around your child’s mouth, helping it remain stable during movement and physical activity.
What to Expect During the Mouthguard Process
Evaluate Your Child’s Smile
The pediatric dentist examines your child’s teeth, bite, and oral development. We also discuss the sports and activities in which your child participates.
Take Dental Impressions
An impression or digital scan is taken to record the shape and position of your child’s teeth. This information is used to create the customized appliance.
Create and Fit the Mouthguard
The mouthguard is made according to your child’s dental measurements. Once ready, we check its fit, comfort, coverage, and stability.
Explain Use and Care
We show your child how to insert and remove the mouthguard correctly. We also provide instructions for cleaning, storage, and recognizing signs that it needs replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should my child clean the mouthguard?
Rinse it with cool water after each use and gently clean it as instructed by the dentist. Allow it to dry before placing it in a ventilated storage case, and keep it away from heat that may change its shape.
Can my child wear a mouthguard with braces?
Yes, but children with braces need a mouthguard designed to accommodate orthodontic appliances and ongoing tooth movement. Ask the dentist or orthodontist which option is appropriate.
Why choose a custom mouthguard?
A custom mouthguard is made according to your child’s teeth and bite. It can provide a more precise fit, improved stability, and better comfort than a poorly fitted standard mouthguard.
Which sports require a mouthguard?
Mouthguards are commonly used for contact and collision sports, but they may also be helpful for any activity involving a risk of falls or impact to the face. The dentist can recommend protection based on your child’s specific activities.
