Yes, mouthguards are highly recommended for children who play contact or partial collision sports: boxing, football, martial arts, basketball, baseball, rollerblading, soccer, wrestling, racquetball and skateboarding. Ask Dr. Tuvelle which type of mouthguard is suitable for your child’s specific needs. Dr. Lisa Tuvelle, Columbus, Ohio dentist providing dental care to children and adults.
