Custom Mouth Guards

Our team prioritizes the safety and health of your child’s smile, both during active play and at rest. Mouth guards are essential tools for protecting teeth from injury and damage. Dr. Chelsea Wehr is here to explain the benefits of sports mouth guards and night guards, ensuring your child’s smile stays bright and healthy.

What Are Mouth Guards?

Mouth guards are protective devices worn over the teeth to safeguard against trauma and injury. There are two main types relevant for children:

• Sports Mouth Guards: Designed for use during physical activities and sports, these guards protect against impacts that can cause broken teeth, lip injuries and other oral damage.
• Night Guards: These guards are worn during sleep to prevent damage from teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching, which can lead to wear and tear on teeth and other dental issues. 

Why Mouth Guards Are Important

• Prevents Injuries: Sports mouth guards cushion impacts to the face, reducing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face and jaw.
• Protects Against Bruxism: Night guards help prevent the wear and tear caused by grinding and clenching, protecting the teeth and alleviating associated pain and discomfort.
• Cost-Effective: Preventing dental injuries and damage with a mouth guard can save on potentially expensive dental treatments in the future.
