Help! My child doesn't want to wear their sports mouthguard

With school back in session and fall sports in full swing, we're seeing more young athletes in our practice dealing with preventable dental injuries. Sports dentistry has become increasingly important as studies show that athletes are 60 times more likely to experience dental trauma when not wearing proper mouth protection.
We understand how frustrating it can be when your child resists wearing their mouthguard. The good news? We have a solution that makes wearing protection something your young athlete will actually look forward to.
Our custom sports mouthguard options are crafted right here in our practice by our caring team. Unlike bulky store-bought alternatives, we create mouthguards that fit your child's mouth perfectly, allowing them to breathe easily, speak clearly, and play confidently. These are the same mouthguards used by professional athletes of all ages.
What really excites young athletes is our ability to customize colors to match their school or team spirit. When your child feels proud of how their mouthguard looks, compliance becomes much easier.
We want to protect your little athlete's beautiful smile while ensuring they feel comfortable and confident on the field. Your child's safety and comfort are our top priorities.
At Pediatric Dental Care of Memphis, we specialize in providing exceptional dental care tailored to the unique needs of children. From preventive care to specialized treatments, our goal is to support your child’s oral health every step of the way, helping them grow up with strong, healthy, and happy smiles.
