As you’ve watched your child grow, you’ve seen their smile change over the years. From losing their first tooth as a toddler to getting braces as a teenager, their smile is as unique as they are.
But if your teen plays sports, you may sit on the sidelines and worry about them taking a hit and injuring their teeth and gums. A custom mouthguard is an easy way to protect their smile and ease your worry.
Why a Mouthguard Matters for Teen Athletes
At The Smile Shop, we can customize a mouthguard to fit snugly over your teen’s teeth.
Here’s how it can help:
- Protects their teeth from chips and cracks
- Reduces the chance of knocked-out teeth
- Absorbs some of the impact, lowering the risk of concussion
- Limits the risk of jaw injuries, as well as cuts to the cheek, tongue, and lips
- Shows your teen that you value their safety and oral health
