Signs Your Child May Need a Mouth Guard
Mouth guards aren’t just for athletes—they can address a variety of dental concerns to protect your child’s teeth and support their overall oral health. If your child is experiencing any of the following, a custom mouth guard may be the right solution:
- Participates in contact sports or recreational activities
- Complains of jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth
- Shows signs of nighttime teeth grinding (e.g., tooth sensitivity or flattened teeth)
- Snores or exhibits disrupted sleep patterns


Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard?
While store-bought mouthguards are widely available, custom-fit mouthguards from Canal Kids Pediatric Dentistry provide enhanced comfort, better protection, and durability. With custom-fit mouthguards, your child is more likely to wear their appliances consistently, ensuring their teeth, gums, and jaws stay safe during sports and other activities.
Unlike generic options, custom mouthguards are designed specifically for your child’s unique dental structure, offering a snug fit that stays in place. They also allow for easier breathing and speaking, making them a practical and reliable choice for active kids.

Caring for Your Child’s Mouth Guard
To keep the mouth guard in good condition, rinse it after each use, clean it regularly, and store it in a ventilated case. When you come to the dentist for regular checkups, bring your mouth guard. We can inspect the appliance and see if we need to make any adjustments. Proper care helps extend the life of the mouth guard and ensures it continues to provide optimal protection for your child’s teeth.
