Sports Guards for Children
At Atria-City Dental Group, we’ve been protecting young athletes’ smiles since 1994 with custom-fitted sports mouthguards. Every time your child plays sports, their teeth face potential injury—sports guards provide essential protection against costly dental emergencies.
What Are Sports Guards?
A sports guard is a protective device worn over teeth and gums during physical activities. They absorb and distribute impact forces, reducing the risk of knocked-out teeth, fractures, soft tissue injuries, jaw damage, and concussions. Athletes without mouthguards are 60 times more likely to suffer dental injuries.
Which Sports Need Protection?
High-Contact: Football/Rugby, Ice Hockey, Boxing/Martial Arts, Basketball, Lacrosse, Wrestling
Moderate-Risk: Baseball/Softball, Soccer, Volleyball, Netball, Cricket
Recreational: Skateboarding, Cycling, Rollerblading, Gymnastics, Trampolining
