How to protect my childs teeth when he or she plays active sports?
A mouth guard should be a top priority on your child’s list of sports equipment. Athletic mouth protectors, or mouth guards, are made of soft plastic and fit comfortably to the shape of the upper teeth. They protect a child’s teeth, lips, cheeks, gums and jaws from sports-related injuries. Any mouth guard works better than no mouth guard, but a custom-fitted mouth guard fitted by your pediatric dentist is your child’s best protection against sports-related injuries.
