What Are Athletic Mouthguards?
Athletic mouthguards are an appliance designed to protect your child’s teeth and jaw from unforeseen impact – whether from a bad fall, a rogue ball, or an accidental elbow to the face. At our pediatric dental office, we create custom ones so that they are the appropriate thickness for the sport and fit comfortably. Knowing their smile is protected by an athletic mouthguard in Papillion will allow them to perform their best without fear of injury.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Athletic Mouthguards?
Oftentimes, parents assume that their child only needs a mouthguard if they participate in a contact sport, like football. However, it’s also recommended if your child:
- Plays ball-and-stick sports, like baseball
- Competes in cycling or horseback riding
- Participates in and-to-hand sports, including martial arts
- Enjoys outdoor activities, such as waterskiing, skateboarding, or rollerblading
How Are Mouthguards Made?
The mouthguards that you’ll get from our dental office are different from those you can buy in stores because they are custom-fitted for your child’s small smile. The first step of the process is taking a putty impression of their teeth. Then, we will send it off to our dental laboratory so the artisans can craft a sturdy, yet flexible mouthguard. Once we receive it, we’ll have your child try it on to make sure it fits properly and teach them how to take care of it.
Benefits of an Athletic Mouthguard
By choosing a professionally-fitted mouthguard, your child will be able to enjoy these benefits:
- Easier time breathing while running and jumping
- Maximized support and protection for teeth and the jaw
- Hassle-free maintenance
- Fast and easy process
