Athletic Mouthguards – Dallas, TX

Protect Your Athlete’s Growing Smile from Accidental Injury

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, between 10 and 39 percent of all dental injuries in children are sports related. Thankfully, these can often be prevented or minimized with the help of an athletic mouthguard. While storebought ‘boil-and-bite’ guards do provide some degree of protection, a professionally made, custom athletic mouthguard from Avion Dental & Orthodontics is designed to fit your child’s mouth more comfortably and securely, so it’s not only more likely to be worn, but it’s also more likely to protect their teeth when accidents occur.

What are Athletic Mouthguards/Sportsguards?

Athletic mouthguards can protect your child’s smile from harm during sports

With upwards of 40 percent of childhood dental injuries occurring due to sports, the odds that your child’s smile could be harmed during athletics is very high. That’s why most coaches and sports programs now require participants to wear an athletic mouthguard or sportsguard. Unfortunately, however, those boil-and-bite devices available at most sporting goods stores leave a lot to be desired. For starters, they are often too bulky to be comfortable, and worse yet, they don’t take into account your child’s unique smile, including any previous dental restorations or orthodontics.

Professionally made athletic mouthguards from Avion Dental & Orthodontics are specifically tailored to your child’s individual smile, so not only are they more comfortable and likely to be worn as directed, but they also do a better job of protecting their teeth and existing dental restorations while in use.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Athletic Mouthguards/Sportsguards?

Athletic mouthguards are devices used to protect your child’s teeth during sports

Whether they play soccer, football, baseball, volleyball, or an individual sport like ice or roller skating, it is always a good idea to protect your child’s teeth from accidental injury. In fact, studies have shown that athletes are a whopping 60 times more likely to sustain mouth injuries when they’re not wearing an athletic mouthguard, and mouthguards themselves prevent an estimated 200,000 sports-related injuries annually! Thus, even if these devices are not a requirement for your child to participate in a sport, it is always an excellent idea to provide them with one anyway.

The Benefits of Athletic Mouthguards/Sportsguards

If your child plays sports of any kind, they are a good candidate for an athletic mouthguard

While any athletic mouthguard is better than leaving your child’s smile completely unprotected, custom athletic mouthguards from Avion Dental & Orthodontics have several important benefits, including:

Custom mouthguards protect both the teeth and any existing dental work.
Less excess material means greater comfort while in use.
Custom mouthguards reduce the risk of needing future orthodontic interventions due to bite changes from a poor fit.
