While it might not make a big difference in their game, a custom made sports mouth guard may big difference in keeping your child out of the dentist’s office, especially since the National Youth Sports Foundation estimates that over 5 million teeth get knocked out every year during kids’ sporting activities. And these dental related injuries affect all age groups.

Compared to the lifetime rehabilitation cost of replacing a missing tooth (or teeth), the preventative cost of a custom mouth guard offers great insurance. Dental injuries in general could be significantly reduced if kids (and adults!) wore custom mouth guards when they play in sports.

Sports mouthguards offer protection for both organized and recreational sports.

• Basketball (mouthguards are not typically worn, even for recreational pick-up games, but, according to studies, 34% of all basketball injuries are tooth and/or oral cavity related.)
