Sports Safety for Kids’ Smiles
Why It Matters
Sports injuries can cause broken or lost teeth, gum damage, and jaw issues. Prevention is better than dental emergencies.
Wear a Mouthguard
Custom or boil-and-bite mouthguards protect teeth from impacts. A must for contact sports like football, hockey, or martial arts.
Educate Kids Early
Teach children to wear mouthguards consistently and never use teeth to open bottles or chew hard sports gear.
Use Helmets and Face Shields
For sports like baseball, biking, and skateboarding, helmets with face shields protect not just the head but teeth and jaw too.
Mouthguard Care Tips
Rinse after use, store in a clean case, and replace when worn out. A clean guard is a healthy one!
Schedule Regular Checkups
Regular dental visits help monitor your child’s oral health and ensure their protective gear still fits as they grow.
