Sports Guards

Sports guards are worn over the teeth, and are specifically designed to protect your mouth from oral trauma caused by high-impact sports. Many sports put players at risk for dental injuries caused by collisions to the mouth, face, or head, but a custom-fitted sports guard can help protect you from chipping, cracking, or knocking out a tooth. Tailored to fit your unique smile, sports guards are both comfortable and durable, so you can play the sports you love without missing a beat.

A sports guard is essential if you’re an athlete who plays football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, hockey, gymnastics, mountain biking, or if you participate in any other activities that put you at risk for injury due to falling, body contact, or flying objects.

What are Sports Guards?

Sports guards, also known as mouthguards, are custom-made protective devices worn over the teeth to prevent injuries during sports or physical activities. They help cushion the impact to the mouth, teeth, and jaw, reducing the risk of broken teeth, cuts to the lips, and other dental injuries. At Memorial Children’s Dentistry, we create custom sports guards tailored to fit your child’s mouth, ensuring comfort and maximum protection during play.

Benefits of Sports Guards

Prevents Dental Injuries

Pediatric Dental Fillings Process

Initial Examination

During the visit, the dentist will thoroughly examine your child’s teeth and may use X-rays to locate cavities or decay. This helps determine if a filling is necessary and ensures an accurate diagnosis.

‍

Cleaning and Decay Removal

Once a cavity is found, the decayed part of the tooth is carefully removed. The area is cleaned to eliminate bacteria and debris, creating a healthy surface for the filling.

‍

Filling Placement and Shaping

A tooth-colored filling material is applied to the cleaned cavity, shaped to match your child’s natural tooth structure, and hardened with a curing light to ensure a secure, durable fit.
