Pediatric Dentistry: Custom Mouthguards for Kids of All Ages

Preventative dental care for kids of all ages is essential to maintaining proper oral health. Aside from regular dental checkups and cleanings, mouthguards can be a vital part of your kid’s oral care routine. At Absolute Dental, we offer custom mouthguards in Las Vegas to help protect your child’s teeth from injuries. 

Call (844) 8-SMILE-NOW or make an appointment today!

What Are Custom Mouthguards?

A custom mouthguard is a dental device that fits over the teeth and gums to help prevent and reduce the risk of injuries and damage to the mouth. Your kid needs a mouthguard for the following reasons:

  • They play sports
  • They have problems with grinding their teeth when they sleep
  • They participate in recreational activities that could damage their braces

Our pediatric dentists in Las Vegas will properly fit your child with a custom mouthguard that fits securely and correctly. 

Mouthguards for Kids’ Sports

Sports injuries, from strains and sprains to broken bones, are common in youth sports. Injuries to the jaw, teeth, and mouth are also common occurrences. Mouthguards for kids’ sports reduce and minimize dental injuries during recreational activities and sports, such as:

  • Soccer
  • Basketball
  • Football
  • Lacrosse
  • Martial arts
  • Boxing
  • Skateboarding
  • Skiing
  • Snowboarding
  • Baseball
  • Hockey

While most team sports equipment includes a mouthguard, these are a “one size fits all” device. It does not provide sufficient protection to your child’s jaw, teeth, and mouth. Some of the problems with these types of mouthguards are: 

  • Poorly fitted mouthguards can fall out
  • Increased risk of cuts to the gum and tongue
  • Insufficient protection to the teeth and braces
  • Increased risk of jaw injuries

A custom mouthguard is the only way to ensure your child is sufficiently protected. Our pediatric dentists take a bite mold of your child’s teeth in our office. We use this mold to design and create a custom mouthguard that properly and securely fits over their teeth and gums, even if they have braces.

Benefits of Custom Mouthguards

Some of the many benefits of custom mouthguards from Absolute Dental include:

  • Protects the jaw from being dislocated or fractured
  • Protects braces from high-impacts
  • Protects teeth from being knocked out, broken, chipped, or cracked
  • Reduces the risk of cuts to the gums and tongue
  • Protects the teeth from coming into contact during impacts
  • More comfortable for your child than “one size fits all” mouthguards
  • It won’t come loose or fall out

Custom Night Guards for Kids

Another type of custom mouthguard in Las Vegas for kids is a night guard. This dental device also fits over the teeth and braces. Night guards are for children who grind their teeth when they sleep. Teeth grinding can cause the following problems:

  • Cracked, broken, and chipped teeth
  • Worn down teeth
  • Jaw pain
  • Headaches
  • Facial pain
  • TMJ
  • Broken and damaged braces

Instead of the teeth taking the full force of grinding, the night guard creates a protective barrier around the teeth and braces. It absorbs the pressure during teeth grinding while reducing and preventing facial and jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ.

Custom Mouthguards for Kids FAQs

A custom mouthguard is highly recommended when your child plays sports. Without a mouthguard, your child has an increased risk of injury to their teeth, mouth, and gums. They could lose a tooth or multiple teeth from an impact. Their cheeks and tongue could sustain cuts and abrasion. They could also experience a dislocated or broken jaw and nerve damage. 

The generic one they receive with their equipment will not provide sufficient protection. It can also be difficult for kids to remember to bite down to hold the guard in place. So, it could easily fall out and not provide any protection whatsoever. Our custom mouthguards fit securely over the teeth to ensure your child is protected.

Kids’ mouthguards should be replaced about every six months. Your child’s mouth is still growing and changing. You should also have it replaced if they still have baby teeth that fall out during the sports season. As teeth fall out, the mouthguard may no longer fit properly. Additionally, look for signs of wear and tear. If you notice their mouthguard is cracking or it looks like they chewed on it, it needs to be replaced. 

If you are looking for Las Vegas braces for kids because your child needs braces, you should also get them a new mouthguard. Our pediatric and orthopedic dentists can assist you in ensuring your child’s new mouthguard will fit over their braces after they are installed.

Absolute Dental has over 50 locations throughout Nevada. You can find our offices in:
