Mouthguards for Children in Grass Lake, MI
Mouthguards for Children Near You
Why Wear a Mouthguard?
A mouthguard serves as a protective shield for the teeth, gums, and jaw, minimizing the chances of:
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Lip, tongue, and inner cheek cuts
- Jaw fracture and injuries
- Teeth grinding damage (bruxism)
- Concussions due to direct jaw impact
Who Should Use a Mouthguard?
Mouthguards are not only for athletes. Anyone of the following people can use one:
- Children and adults who play contact sports such as football, hockey, or basketball
- Those who grind their teeth at night (bruxism)
- Individuals who have orthodontic treatment to protect against injuries caused by braces
- Patients with a history of jaw pain or TMJ disorders
If you need help deciding on the best sort of mouthguard for you, our dentist in Grass Lake can help you find the perfect fit.
Getting a Mouthguard: What to Expect
Getting a customized mouthguard is easy and quick:
- Consultation: Our dentist examines your needs and recommends the perfect type of mouthguard.

- Enhanced Protection: Reduces impact more effectively, lowering the risk of dental trauma
