Advantages of Kids Mouth Guard
- Mouth guards help cushion a blow to the face. They limit the risk of injuries to the lips, tongue and jaw. And they help avoid broken or chipped teeth, nerve damage to a tooth, or loss of a tooth.
- While a mouth guard won’t prevent a concussion, a study in the May/June 2014 issue of General Dentistry (the clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry) shows they can reduce the severity of the injury.
- A mouth guard will also keep braces from injuring gums and cheeks, and protect the braces.
- Mouth guards acts like a crash helmet that protects the jawbone from an unexpected fracture.
- Mouth guards are far less expensive than dental repairs. Our goal is to keep your child’s teeth perfect, forever. That’s why a good mouthguard is one of the best investments you can make in sports equipment.
- Mouth guards are easy to maintain.
Types of Mouth Guards
There are essentially three types of mouthguards:
Off the shelf, prefabricated oral appliances are available in sporting goods stores and drugstores. They come ready-to-wear in a limited number of sizes, and are the least costly. A stock mouth guard cannot be adjusted, may fit poorly, and is bulky.
A stock mouth guard is held in place by clenching the teeth together. That can make it difficult to breathe and interferes with speaking. A stock mouth guard is not recommended by dentists.
Boil-and-Bite Mouth Guards are readily available in sporting goods stores and can offer a better fit than the stock mouth guard. The boil-and-bite mouth guard is made of a thermoplastic material. These are better, but, by design, still bulky and not custom fitted. After softening in hot water, it’s inserted into the mouth and shaped around the upper teeth by applying biting, tongue and finger pressure.
Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards are individually made to fit your child’s mouth. I recommend custom-fitted mouth guards exclusively for my pediatric dentistry patients because:
- The custom-fitted mouth guards we create are comfortable
- They provide maximum protection
- They do not interfere with breathing or speaking
- We match the mouth guard to the specific sport played and the patient’s history of dental injury
- A custom-fitted mouth guard can even be worn with braces
- And they can be made in a variety of colors.
