How Can I Protect my Child’s Teeth from Sports Related Injuries?

The best way to prevent dental injuries caused by sports related activities is to always have your child wear a mouth guard during sports. Athletic mouth guards protect the teeth, lips, cheeks, and tongue from injury, as well as reduce the chance of concussion or jaw fracture after a blow to the mouth. Be sure to choose a mouth guard that your child can wear comfortably and ask your child’s dentist for any suggestions.
