Custom-Made Mouthguards: Protect Your Child’s Smile During Sports

It is so important to protect your child’s teeth and jaws during sporting activities. A professionally fitted mouthguard can significantly reduce the risk of dental injuries, allowing your child to enjoy their favourite sports safely.

What Are Children's Sports Mouthguards?

Sports mouthguards are rubber-like, custom-fitted coverings designed to protect your child’s teeth, gums, and jaws during physical activities. These guards are particularly crucial for sports involving physical contact or high-speed objects, such as:

  • Rugby
  • Football
  • Hockey
  • Boxing and combat sports
  • American football
  • Cricket

By absorbing and distributing the impact of blows, mouthguards help prevent injuries such as:

  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Tooth loss
  • Alveolar fractures
  • Soft tissue injuries

Why Choose a Custom-Made Mouthguard?

Unlike generic, store-bought mouthguards, custom-made options offer superior fit, comfort, and protection. Crafted to fit your child’s unique dental structure, a bespoke mouthguard provides:

  • Optimal cushioning and protection for teeth and jaws
  • Better fit and comfort, making it easier to wear during games
  • Improved retention to stay securely in place

Protecting Growing Smiles

As your child’s teeth and jaws are still developing, their mouthguard will need regular checks and adjustments.

Our team ensures the fit remains perfect as your child grows, and we recommend replacing their mouthguard periodically to maintain the best protection.

The Benefits of Children's Custom Mouthguards

  • Injury Prevention: Protects against dental trauma, chipped teeth, and jaw injuries.
  • Concussion Reduction: Helps absorb impacts to reduce the risk of concussion.
  • Cost-Effective: Avoids costly dental treatments caused by preventable injuries.

My teenage daughter is extremely needle phobic and needed adult teeth pulled for braces prep… after struggling with anxiety when our regular dentist removed one we were referred here!! Omg! What a difference, no needles, very calm and friendly, explaining every step before it happened in an age appropriate manner. Fantastic! The referral times are huge because of this but seeing your child calm and relaxed after seeing the alternative was a way better experience for both of us!
My wee girl had to have a tooth out recently and I cannot rate John and his team any hight. From start to finish he put myself and my daughter at ease, explaining every step of the process. My wee one had to have the 'happy gas' and was able to pick the smell of the gas, also was able to pick what she wanted to watch on the iPad and which funky glasses that she wanted. The process went smoothly from beginning to end and at the end she picked a toy from the toy chest. Thank you John and the team for making this experience as pain free as possible. Highly recommend!
Our daughter was referred to John as she had problems with her enamel on her molars (MIH)and a terrible fear of the dentist! John was absolutely amazing with her from the first meeting and all during her treatment. John provided us with all the information we needed to make a decision on treatment and answered all our questions along the way. The way he was with her was truly amazing putting her at ease and us.I would highly recommend John to anyone with children as i genuinely wish I’d had a dentist like him as a child.
John and all the staff at KDC were incredible. So much thought and care has gone into setting everything up, and for my 10-year-old getting his tooth out, he was confident throughout. We both completely trusted John, and he has such a rapport with children, it was unlike experiences we've had elsewhere. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend John and the team at KDC. Thank you for making it so easy.
My son had to have a tooth removed and John was fantastic. The initial appointment he explained to my 7 year old what would happen on the day. On the day he got to pick sunglasses a programme to watch and all stages were explained in a way my son was comfortable. The whole experience was so positive and we left happy with no issues. There were lots of laughs in the appointment and just an overall good experience for a bad situation of having a tooth removed.Thank you!!!!
Genuinely amazing, my little boy went from being scared to telling everyone about his friend the dentist that's amazing & waves to the building when we pass just incase John is looking out the window!
Would reccomend to anyone! Couldn't have asked for a smoother/more relaxed experience for our son to get his tooth out- the anesthetic wand is much more child appropriate than a jag and my son didn't feel a thing! He went to the park straight after having the tooth out! The dentist (i think john) was really good and explained things well for ourselves and also our son. Thank you!
I was recommended this dentist through a family member for my daughter who needed a filling, and was too anxious at our own dentist to receive treatment. John the dentist was brilliant and made the dentist a fun experience for my daughter and put her at ease throughout her treatment. Having things for children to distract them such as funny glasses, toys and allowing them to choose their favourite show to watch made the world of difference. It has changed my daughter’s view on the dentist and she cannot wait to come back for her next visit. John and his staff were so kind, friendly and patient with my daughter and I would highly recommend this dentist.
My 13-year-old son recently had four teeth removed at Hannigan Dental Practice with John, and the whole experience was excellent. John and the dental nurse were amazing with my anxious son — they were so friendly, patient, and reassuring, which really helped to put him at ease. I’m so grateful for the care and kindness they showed throughout the appointment.I would definitely recommend their services to others. Thank you so much again!
My teenage daughter needed 2 teeth removed prior to getting braces. John was brilliant with her and kept her from having a panic attack. He spoke to her and explained everything during the appointment. He successfully extracted her teeth with minimal sedation. I would recommend him 100%. I was very impressed.
