Preventing Dental Injuries in Kids

You can help your child avoid painful and expensive dental emergencies. Follow these tips to reduce dental trauma:

  • Always ensure your child’s consistent use of mouth guards. This especially includes time on a sports field.
  • Ensure they practice safe play, both in organized activities and at other times.
  • If your child needs a mouth guard to sleep, ensure they wear it each night, including at sleepovers and other instances where they are sleeping away from home.
  • Make sure your child has regular dental checkups to check on their mouth appliances and to keep their teeth healthy.
  • Help ensure they maintain good oral hygiene. Enforce brushing twice per day and flossing once in the evening.
  • If your child wears a mouth guard for braces protection, ensure their orthodontist is guiding you on its effective wear.

As with almost all oral health, early preventive care creates a lifetime of healthy smiles.

FAQ

A custom mouth guard can last quite a few years, depending on a number of factors, including age of your child, their growth cycles, and how often the mouth guard gets used.

Yes, absolutely. In fact, mouth guards are especially recommended if your child has braces due to the added risk to both their mouths and the appliances when playing sports and other potentially damaging activities.

Children should start to wear a mouth guard when playing sports beginning at six or seven years old, or earlier if they are participating in particularly damaging sports at an earlier age.

You should always rinse the mouth guard after use, brush once a day with toothpaste and brush like teeth, and store it in a well-ventilated case when not being used.

There are some dental insurance plans that do cover mouth guards. Check with your insurance carrier to find out if yours is included. Absolute Dental accepts most major insurance carriers. 

Over-the-counter mouth guards are better than nothing, but they are far inferior to custom-fitted guards. They are often much less comfortable than the ones we can make, making their use for children even more difficult.
