Sports Guards

Custom Sports Guards on long island

A properly fitted sports guard doesn’t just guard against accidents. It boosts confidence and emphasizes the importance of safety during play. That’s why Adelberg Montalvan Pediatric Dentistry proudly offers custom sports guards, specially designed to protect teeth during physical activity.
Whether your child is scoring goals on the soccer field, shooting hoops on the court, or mastering moves on the mat, their teeth deserve the best protection possible. Custom sports guards don’t just safeguard growing smiles. They also bring peace of mind to parents and caregivers whenever their little ones play.

What Are Sports Guards, & When Are They Necessary?

A sports guard is a protective device worn over the teeth to reduce the risk of injury during high-impact or physical activities. Unlike generic, store-bought mouthguards, a professionally made sports guard is custom-fitted for maximum comfort, effectiveness, and durability.
Accidents during sports like football, hockey, basketball, or gymnastics can result in chipped teeth, broken dental appliances, or even jaw injuries. Sports guards create a protective barrier that absorbs and disperses impact force. Not only are they essential gear for contact sports, but they’re also highly recommended for any activity that includes sudden movements or potential collisions. Our proactive Long Island pediatric dentists believe every young athlete deserves a winning smile, all while staying safe and sound.
