Why Parents Love Kidstown Dental

Maddie K.
AMAZING experience from start to finish. Super organized, kind, comprehensive. I brought my 1-year-old daughter for her first dentist appointment. They had so many toys for her to play with and she was so happy the whole time. They were really engaging with my daughter and really made her feel at home. They are very committed that your kids want to come back to the dentist. I wish every medical provider was like them. I am a very very impressed new customer and this will definitely be my kids’ full-time dentist
Alaina M.
Excellent all around. We had my infant daughter’s oral ties assessed with Kidstown everyone was so kind, professional and organized. The clinic for the oral ties was informative. I took my older daughter back two days later to have her assessed for a tongue tie and the entire process was great! I felt like all of my questions were answered and concerns were put to ease. I have already recommended you all and will continue to do so!
Amanda C.
My 5 year old son had to have a dental procedure where he had to be fully sedated. It was a scary process to go through and understand but the dentist, staff, and anesthesiologist were extremely transparent about the process- they called me in advance about what to expect. When we got there everyone was so warm and thoughtful- I received updates every so often while my son had his procedure. They truly went above and beyond to help make us comfortable in an uncomfortable situation.
Tifany L.
I was very impressed with Kidstown. We drove an hour and a half to use them because they came so highly recommended by our pediatrician. Once we were there I understood why they were so highly recommended. Everyone was polite, professional and really seemed to care about each client. We were there to get a frenotomy for our 1 month old and it went very smoothly. I also heard the dentists working with older kids and was so impressed with their kindness and patience with all ages
Ashlie C.
Staff A+++!! I was having a day with my newborn and very energetic toddler. The staff was very welcoming and helpful with my toddler.
Love F.
Always a good experience, great facility and super awesome staff. They are excellent with special needs children also. Highly recommend!
Tom H.
We really appreciate every one of the staff members there. They treated us like we were the only patient, and there were about 8 other children in the clinic getting treatments.
Elise D.
This entire dental team took time to give education on procedures and how my child would benefit in the future. Their knowledge far exceeded my expectations as well as their natural approach to healing and pain management.
Stephanie K.
Kidstown Dental is awesome! They are amazing with kids, and have always been so patient with my son. They have gone above and beyond when it comes to care and service. Definitely recommend.

The staff went above and beyond to help me and my daughter when she had a tooth emergency. They stayed after hours and were extremely kind and helpful to us in every way! Would definitely recommend!
Szilvia S.
We went for my son’s 6 month dental check up. All staff were attentive, informative, caring and professional! Well done all and see you for our next visit! I can warmly recommend this place for your children’s dental needs.
April M.
From the time we walked, everyone was so inviting and friendly.The dentist was very kind and gentle and made sure my son was comfortable. She and her assistant were amazing. Would definitely recommend anyone to take their children to Kidstown Dental!
Amy S.
Excellent dentist for kids! It is important to us that our daughter has a positive experience at the dentist and builds lifelong healthy habits. Kidstown Dental always makes sure she is comfortable and also educates her on how to take good care of her teeth and gums. Highly recommend.
Lacy D.
I was highly impressed at how kind everyone was! I was also happy with all the help we received. I’m so happy I chose to go with Kidstown Dental to help my baby get her tongue and lip ties revised. Best decision I’ve ever made! It was definitely worth the 1+ hour drive.
Rebecca H.
I brought my son here for his frenectomy procedure. The process was so thorough. They take an interdisciplinary approach to ensure the best outcomes are met. I felt confident in the staff and in my understanding of the procedure and it's benefits. Every member of the staff was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have already referred friends to them! I could not be more pleased with the care we've been provided!
Chrissy C.
I have never been to a dentist where you felt calm and happy. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Not only did they treatmy son like VIP but so did my other 2 kids with me. They really took time with my son, made of fun for him and made us feel like we were top priority. I am so happy I came here because they made it so nice that my son asked if he could come back tomorrow.
Christy A.
We had a great visit! There was a very short wait. The Dentist got to us quickly and performed a very thorough but quick exam on my 3 year old and 1 year old. It was pleasant for them. After the exam, they explained everything well and were very clear on the next steps to take. I was very impressed!
Devon F.
We had a wonderful experience at Kidstown. Absolutely amazing staff. I told my husband if I could work anywhere, it would be a place like Kidstown Dental. I had a question about my son late last night at 8pm or 9pm and I got an immediate response. You seriously don't get this type of care and expertise anywhere else.
Gussie M.
The staff are real, very friendly, and down to earth. We were truly treated like family and felt welcomed. My 3 year old was so comfortable throughout the entire appointment and actually didn't want to leave. I was nervous it would be a stressful time for my daughter, but there's no doubt in my mind she'll willingly return for all upcoming appointments based on this easy, positive experience for her.

A Mouthguard That Actually Fits

A Fit Made for Your Child

Every mouthguard we make starts with an impression of your child's own teeth, so the fit follows the exact shape of their smile instead of a generic mold. That precision is what keeps a mouthguard in place during a hit, which is exactly the moment it needs to work.

An Option That Grows With Their Smile

Kids in the middle of losing baby teeth and growing in new ones need a mouthguard that can keep up. Buying a brand-new custom mouthguard every time a tooth shifts isn't realistic for most families, so our re-moldable option can be softened and refit at home as your child's smile changes.

Comfortable Enough to Actually Wear

A mouthguard only protects your child if they'll keep it in. A bulky or ill-fitting one is the kind that gets left in the equipment bag by week two of the season. Ours are trimmed and adjusted for comfort, so breathing, talking to teammates, and drinking water on the sideline don't feel like a fight against their own gear.

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.

Getting Your Child's Mouthguard, Step by Step

Step 1

Consultation & Exam

We take a look at your child's teeth and talk through their sport, schedule, and any dental work we should plan the mouthguard around. This is a simple, non-invasive visit, no numbing or anesthesia needed, so it's an easy one even for a child who's nervous about the dentist.
Step 2

Impression or Mold

We take a quick, comfortable impression of your child's teeth, the starting point for a mouthguard built around their exact smile.
Step 3

Custom Fabrication

Your child's mouthguard is made to match that impression, so the fit follows their teeth instead of the other way around.
Step 4

Fitting & Adjustments

We check the fit in person and make any small adjustments needed for comfort, so your child can breathe, talk, and drink water without wrestling with their gear.
Step 5

Care Instructions

We walk you through how to clean and store the mouthguard between games, plus when it's time for a refit or replacement.

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.
