At Kids 360 Pediatric Dentistry, we know how active childhood can be and we’re here to keep growing smiles safe through it all. Our pediatric sports guards in Richmond, TX are specially designed for kids who participate in sports or recreational activities that pose a risk to their teeth and mouth.
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 mouth 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.

A sports guard helps cushion the teeth and mouth from bumps, falls or dental injuries and impacts during athletic activities. This protection can reduce the risk of chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, cuts to the lips or cheeks, and other dental injuries.
Custom sports guards are designed to fit your child’s mouth more comfortably than store-bought options. A better fit helps the guard stay in place during movement, making it easier for children to breathe, talk, and focus while playing.
Wearing a sports guard helps children build healthy safety habits before practices and games. Whether your child plays football, basketball, soccer, hockey, martial arts, or another sport, a well-fitted guard adds protection and peace of mind.
We begin with a brief consultation to discuss your child’s activity level and needs. We then take an impression of their teeth to create a precise custom mold.
Using the mold, our lab creates a high-quality, impact-resistant sports guard that fits snugly and comfortably without bulky material or poor alignment.
At the follow-up visit, we ensure the guard fits securely and comfortably. Dr. Appareddy will make any needed adjustments and provide care instructions to keep it in top condition.
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.
