Creating a custom sports mouthguard at Foothill Smiles is a straightforward and efficient process. During the appointment, a mold of your child’s teeth is taken to ensure the mouthguard is tailored to their unique dental structure. This custom approach means that once the mouthguard is ready, your child will be able to try it on to confirm a snug and comfortable fit. Designed with both protection and comfort in mind, these mouthguards are an excellent choice for active children, providing them with the security they need while engaging in sports and other high-energy activities.

Before the appointment, it’s helpful to discuss any specific sports or activities your child participates in, allowing the mouthguard to be tailored to their needs. Additionally, ensuring your child brushes and flosses their teeth beforehand will help create a clean impression for the mold. After the appointment, it is essential to encourage your child to wear their mouthguard during all activities or events where there is a risk of dental injuries. Teaching them the proper cleaning and storage techniques will help keep the mouthguard hygienic and in optimal condition. Finally, remember to check and replace the mouthguard regularly, especially if your child’s teeth or jaw structure changes over time.
