Sports are fantastic for children’s health and confidence, but they can also put teeth at risk. At Regent Dental in Ilkley, we help parents understand how to keep young athletes’ smiles safe—on and off the field.
Why Is Dental Protection Important?
Sports injuries are a leading cause of dental trauma in children
Knocked-out, broken, or chipped teeth can cause pain, distress, and long-term issues
Mouthguards are proven to reduce the risk of dental injuries in contact and non-contact sports
Choosing the Right Mouthguard
Custom-fitted mouthguards offer the best protection and comfort
Over-the-counter “boil and bite” guards are less effective and may not fit well
Regent Dental offers professional fittings for a snug, comfortable, and safe fit
Tips for Parents
Make sure your child wears a mouthguard for all sports, not just contact activities
Replace mouthguards if they become worn, damaged, or outgrown
Clean and store mouthguards properly between uses
