During this session, we fine-tune the mouth guard’s fit, provide guidance on its maintenance, and instruct on its storage. For subsequent dental check-ups, it’s essential that your child brings their mouth guard, ensuring its ongoing comfort and efficacy.
If your child engages in sports, equipping them with a bespoke mouth guard is as crucial as ensuring they wear a helmet. And in our view, it’s even more essential than protective pads!
It’s not only about aggressive sports like football.
The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) advises; “A dentist-customized mouth guard provides enhanced protection due to its comfortable fit, ensuring its proper positioning during impact.”
They advocate mouth guards for any sports activity with potential oral injury risks. This encompasses activities like mountain biking, soccer, and even trampolining.
If your child shows signs of nighttime teeth grinding, our expert at Toronto Kids Dental, Dr. Noah, may suggest a custom mouth guard. Even grinding on primary teeth can lead to irreversible dental damage. Addressing this early ensures a lifetime of genuine, healthy teeth.

Typically, dentists charge around $100 for a custom-fitted guard, but its personalized fit enhances comfort and protection.
