Your Dentist and Custom Sports Mouthguards in Milton ON
If you have been searching for custom sports mouthguards in Milton, ON, look no further than the dental professionals at Scott and Derry Dental Care.
Sports mouthguards are vital for your child who plays sports, especially contact sports, including football, hockey, baseball, soccer, and even skateboarding. Whether your child is on a sports team or plays sports with their friends in the neighbourhood, they can suffer an injury to their mouth without wearing the appropriate protection.
Here are a few tips you should know about custom sports mouthguards.
The Fit is Important
Some athletes still suffer dental trauma even while wearing mouthguards because they did not ensure that they fit correctly, or the mouthguard became worn down over time. You need to have an appointment with your dentist so they can measure your child’s mouth correctly and customize it, especially for your child.
Protect Your Child’s Teeth
Playing sports can put your child at an increased risk for dental damage, which is the reason you should make sure your child always wears a mouthguard when participating in any sports activity. The mouthguards work by providing a protective layer over your child’s teeth, so if they receive any blow to their mouth area, the mouthguard will protect their teeth. This can save you many headaches, time, heartache, and money in the long run.
Top Teeth Only
The great news is that your child only needs to wear a mouthguard on their top teeth unless they wear braces, and then, in that case, they would need one for the lower teeth also.
Replace Every Six Months
Your child’s mouthguard needs to be replaced every six months, especially if they wear it a lot since the material does wear down over time.

Wash then Wear
Bacteria can build up on the mouthguard, which can cause damage your child’s teeth, so it is important to wash the mouthguard after each use. Just scrub it with a toothbrush, then rinse with cold water before putting it in a ventilated container until the next time your child needs to use it.
