Essential Protection for Your Child’s Smile

At the Pediatric Dental Center, we offer specialized mouthguards and nightguards designed to protect your child’s teeth and mouth. Mouthguards are crucial for preventing damage from teeth grinding and safeguarding against injuries during sports. 

Nightguards: Many children grind their teeth at night, which can lead to significant dental wear and discomfort. A custom-fitted nightguard can help protect your child’s teeth from this damage and ensure a better night’s sleep. 

Sports Mouthguards: Mouthguards are also highly beneficial during sports. They protect your child’s teeth and jaw from potential injuries caused by impacts, such as blows to the face. Even if the sport isn’t considered high-impact, a mouthguard can help protect against teeth clenching and accidental injuries. 

What type of mouthguard should my child use? 

We offer various types, including pre-formed and customized mouthguards options tailored to fit your child’s teeth and jaw. Most mouthguards are designed for the upper teeth, but some children may need protection for both the top and bottom teeth. 

After a thorough examination, our team will discuss the best mouthguard options for your child’s needs, ensuring optimal protection for both nighttime grinding and sports activities.
