Mouthguards

Does your child grind their teeth at night or play sports? If so, they could greatly benefit from wearing a mouthguard. This essential oral appliance not only protects your child’s teeth and mouth but also helps maintain their healthy, confident smile.

Introducing Mouthguards

Mouthguards are specialized oral appliances crafted to shield your child’s teeth, mouth, and soft tissues from potential injury. Typically, these removable appliances cover the upper teeth, offering optimal protection. Depending on your child’s specific needs, you have a variety of mouthguard options to choose from.

At McLean Pediatric Dentistry, we provide both sports mouthguards and nightguards. Our expert pediatric dentists will assess your child's needs and guide you in selecting the perfect mouthguard that ensures the utmost safety and comfort.

Nightguards

Does your child suffer from bruxism or grind their teeth while sleeping? Nightguards, also known as occlusal splints, are designed to prevent damage such as cracked or worn-down teeth, while also alleviating any associated jaw pain and discomfort.

Sports Mouthguards

Active in sports? Whether your child participates in high-contact sports like football, rugby, or wrestling—or enjoys individual activities like rock climbing or biking—sports mouthguards are crucial. These guards provide essential protection against injuries, allowing your child to engage in their favorite activities with confidence.

Why Choose a Custom Mouthguard?

While stock or boil-and-bite mouthguards are readily available at sporting goods stores, they often lack durability, comprehensive protection, and comfort. Our professional recommendation is a custom-fitted mouthguard. Tailored to your child’s unique dental structure, a custom mouthguard ensures exceptional comfort and maximum protection.
