Mouth Guards
A mouth guard helps protect your child’s teeth from teeth grinding, as well as from damage while playing sports, but not all mouth guards are created equal. At Blossom Pediatric Dentistry, custom-fit mouth guards are available to protect every groove of your child’s teeth. These custom mouth guards offer a better fit than store-bought alternatives, making for a more comfortable experience for your child.

What Is a Mouth Guard?
- Sports Mouth Guards - These are ideal in children who are playing contact sports such as soccer, basketball or hockey. These guards protect teeth, lips, tongue and jaw against impact.
- Night Guards - This is usually used with children who grind or clench their teeth while sleeping (a condition referred to as bruxism). These guards prevent the enamel from wearing off, jaw pain, and headaches.
What to Know about a Mouth Guard on Your Child
- Engages in sports or other physical activities.
- Grinds their teeth at night.
- Wears braces or other orthodontics which require additional security.
- Has dental history of trauma or sensitivity of teeth.
