Why Custom Mouthguards
Why Mouthguard Protection Matters
Mouth injuries are easy to not think about, until a normal practice ends with a chipped front tooth or a hard fall to the face. Kids' mouths are especially worth protecting during contact sports, and the stakes are real:
- A damaged permanent tooth doesn't grow back the way a baby tooth does
- A knocked-out or badly chipped tooth can mean years of follow-up dental work, from a crown to a root canal to eventual replacement
- Impacts can happen just as easily during a routine drill as during a hard collision in a game
A properly fitted mouthguard cushions the teeth, lips, and gums from impact, wherever and whenever it happens.
Is a Custom Mouthguard Right for Your Child?
A custom mouthguard is worth considering if your child:
- Plays a contact or collision sport like football, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball, or soccer, where a fall or collision is simply part of the game
- Currently wears a store-bought mouthguard that falls out, feels bulky, or spends more time in the equipment bag than in their mouth
- Has braces, retainers, or other dental work in progress that needs its own kind of protection
- Is still losing baby teeth or growing in new permanent ones, which changes what kind of mouthguard actually fits
- Is getting fitted for a mouthguard for the first time and you're not sure where to start
If you're not sure which of these fits your child, a quick evaluation is the easiest way to find out.
Mouthguard Options at Kidstown Dental
We offer two mouthguard options, matched to your child's stage of dental development.
- Custom-Fitted Mouthguards: Molded directly from your child's teeth for a precise, stay-put fit. This works well once most of their permanent teeth have come in, since the shape of their bite has mostly settled.
- Re-Moldable Mouthguards: Built for kids who are still losing baby teeth or growing in permanent ones. Because a child's bite can change every few months during these years, this option can be softened and reshaped at home as needed, so one mouthguard can keep fitting through more of the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my child's mouthguard stops fitting?
Bring them back in. As their smile changes, we can refit a re-moldable mouthguard or talk through whether it's time for a new custom one.
Does insurance cover custom mouthguards?
Coverage varies by plan. Our team can help you check your benefits and talk through the cost during your visit.
How do I clean my child's mouthguard?
Rinse it with cool water after every use, and give it an occasional gentle scrub with a toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid hot water, which can warp the shape.
Will a mouthguard work with my child's braces?
Yes. We can fit a mouthguard to work with braces or other orthodontic appliances, so your child's treatment plan and their protection on the field work together.
How long does a custom mouthguard last?
With good care, a custom mouthguard can last a full season or more. Growing kids may need a new fit sooner, which is one reason the re-moldable option works well for younger athletes.
Can a mouthguard protect against a concussion?
A mouthguard is designed to protect the teeth, lips, and gums from impact. It works alongside other required safety gear for your child's sport, like a properly fitted helmet.
Which sports actually need a mouthguard?
Any contact or collision sport calls for one, including football, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball, and soccer. Your child's coach or league may also require one for practice and games, so it's worth checking their rules too.
Why would my child need a re-moldable mouthguard instead of a custom one?
If your child is still losing baby teeth or growing in permanent ones, their bite is changing every few months. A re-moldable mouthguard can be softened and refit at home as those changes happen, so you're not replacing the whole mouthguard every time a tooth shifts.
Is a custom mouthguard really worth it over a cheaper, store-bought one?
A custom mouthguard costs more upfront, but it fits precisely, stays in place, and is comfortable enough that your child will actually wear it through an entire season. A mouthguard that ends up in the equipment bag by week two isn't protecting anyone, so for a child who plays regularly, many parents find the difference is worth it.
At what age can my child get a custom mouthguard?
Kids can be fitted for a mouthguard as soon as they're playing an organized sport that calls for one. We'll help you decide whether a custom-fitted or re-moldable option makes more sense based on how many permanent teeth they have.
