In our office at Lincoln Children’s Dentistry, we see many children with damage done to teeth that could have been prevented by wearing mouthguards.

How Does a MouthGuard Help?

When your child starts to participate in athletic or organized sports activities, it’s best to get custom-fitted mouthguards to protect the oral cavity. A well-fitted mouthguard can help keep your child’s teeth, gums, lips, tongue, and cheek safe from blows and trauma that can occur during sports.

Please contact our trained dentist near you for more information regarding customized children’s mouthguards in Lincoln, NE.

What You Should Know About MouthGuards

Whether your child loves baseball, athletics, bicycling, or simply kicking a ball around, sports activities are fun and healthy. However, along with the health benefits, the risk of injury continues to persist.

Among the hundreds of dental trauma cases that Dr. Rebecca Scott treats, many are sports-related injuries, and it’s usually the front teeth that are the most frequently impacted. If you’re considering investing in customized mouthguards near you, please contact Lincoln Children’s Dentistry for an appointment.

What Types of MouthGuards Are Available?

You can choose from there types of mouthguards:

  • Readymade or Off-the-Shelf – These are the most cost-effective and simple to use. Store-bought mouthguards also come in a variety of sizes. However, the thinner plastic makes them less durable and resistant to wear, tear, and trauma than customized mouthguards.
  • Boil-and-Bite MouthGuards – These are designed to custom-fit your teeth and gums after immersion in hot water.
  • Customized MouthGuards – Dr. Rebecca Scott starts by making a precise model of the teeth and sending the impressions to a dental lab. Mouthguards may take one or two weeks to fabricate and fit your teeth and gums exactly. Our trained dentist in Lincoln, NE, can get the design and thickness customized to suit the sport.
