Why Should I Choose Pediatric Sports Guards?
Accidents on the field or court can lead to chipped teeth, broken jaws, or even knocked-out teeth. A pediatric sports guard acts as a shock absorber for your child’s mouth protecting their teeth, tongue, lips, and jaw from impact during physical activity.
At Kids 360 Pediatric Dentistry, we create guards that are lightweight, comfortable, and custom-molded to fit your child’s mouth exactly. This ensures they’re more likely to wear them consistently and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re well protected.
Did you know?
The American Dental Association estimates that over 200,000 oral injuries are prevented each year by sports mouthguards making them one of the most important pieces of safety gear for young athletes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sports require a mouthguard?
Contact and collision sports like football, basketball, hockey, soccer, wrestling, and martial arts all carry risk of dental injury. Even non-contact sports can benefit from protection.
Is a custom sports guard better than one from the store?
Yes. Custom guards provide a better fit, more comfort, and better protection reducing the risk of injuries compared to over-the-counter options.
Will my child be able to talk and breathe while wearing it?
Absolutely. Our kids sport guards are thin and well-fitted, allowing for easy breathing and communication during practice and games.
How long does a pediatric sports guard last?
With proper care, a sports guard can last a full season or more. We recommend checking the fit regularly, especially as your child grows.
How do I care for the sport mouthguard?
Rinse after each use, store in a ventilated case, and bring it to dental visits for checkups. Avoid exposing it to high heat or chewing on it.
