Children’s Mouthguards in Midland
The best protection for active kids
Whether your child plays Soccer, AFL, Netball, or Cricket, one piece of equipment is absolutely essential — a properly fitted mouthguard.
At Helena Street Dental in Midland, we create custom-made children’s mouthguards that provide the highest level of comfort, protection, and durability.
Why are mouthguards important?
A mouthguard protects your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw from injury during sport. It acts as a cushion against impacts, helping to:
- Prevent chipped or broken teeth
- Protect soft tissues such as lips, cheeks, and tongue
- Reduce the risk of jaw injuries
- Lessen the severity of concussions from accidental blows
Even in non-contact sports, accidents can happen — and a well-fitted mouthguard can make a big difference.
Why choose a custom-fitted mouthguard?
While “boil and bite” mouthguards from chemists or sports stores are convenient, they often provide limited protection and can feel bulky or uncomfortable.
A custom-fitted mouthguard, made by your dentist, offers several advantages:
- Precisely moulded to fit your child’s teeth and gums
- Easier to breathe and speak while wearing
- Provides even cushioning and better shock absorption
- Stays securely in place during activity More durable and longer-lasting
Because it’s made specifically for your child’s mouth, it offers superior protection compared to over-the-counter options.
When should my child wear a mouthguard?
Your child should wear their mouthguard whenever they train or play sport, especially for activities involving contact, speed, or potential collisions.
Wearing it during training helps your child get used to the feel of it and ensures they can breathe and communicate comfortably.
Caring for your child’s mouthguard
With the right care, a mouthguard can last through an entire sports season. Follow these tips to keep it in good condition:
- Rinse after each use with cool water
- Store in a ventilated container to allow it to dry completely
- Keep away from heat and direct sunlight, as this can cause warping
- Avoid chewing on the mouthguard
- Bring it along to dental check-ups so we can check its fit and condition
A well-maintained mouthguard will provide the best protection and comfort over time.
