Sports Mouth Guards in Bothell, WA

At Hello Kids Dentistry, we believe protecting your child’s smile is just as important as building it. Our custom-fit sports mouth guards help prevent dental injuries and reduce the risk of serious head trauma, keeping your young athlete safe, confident, and ready to play.

When Should My Child Get a Cleaning?

Every year, thousands of dental injuries are caused by contact sports and recreational play. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children and adolescents wear properly fitted mouth guards during activities where contact, collision, or falling is likely, such as football, basketball, soccer, wrestling, and skateboarding. A custom mouth guard doesn’t just protect your child’s teeth, it also cushions the jaw and helps reduce the risk of concussions, jaw injuries, and damage to the lips, cheeks, and tongue. It’s a simple, powerful way to help keep your child safe while they play their best.

What Does a Sports Mouth Guard Do?

Our custom-fit mouth guards are designed for growing smiles and offer better protection, fit, and comfort than store-bought options, making it easier for your child to breathe, speak, and focus during play.

They help prevent:

Tooth injuries like chips or knocked-out teeth
Jaw fractures and joint injuries
Cuts to lips, cheeks, or tongue
Gum and soft tissue damage
Head and neck injuries, including concussions

Each guard is crafted from durable, kid-safe materials and shaped precisely to your child’s bite for the best fit and safety.

Why Custom Fit Matters?

While over-the-counter mouth guards offer basic protection, they’re often bulky, loose, or uncomfortable, leading many kids to skip wearing them altogether.

A custom-fit mouth guard from Dr. Dhali and our team at Hello Kids Dentistry is designed specifically for your child’s smile. We take precise dental impressions to ensure a snug, comfortable fit that stays in place, even during the most intense activity.

Our custom guards are made from high-quality, kid-safe materials and tailored to accommodate growing mouths. They’re especially important for children who already wear braces or orthodontic appliances, as store-bought guards can cause damage or discomfort.

Caring for Your Child’s Mouth Guard

Helping your child care for their mouth guard is an easy way to protect both their teeth and their investment.

Here’s how to keep it in top shape:

Rinse with cold water before and after each use
Clean it regularly with a toothbrush and mild soap (not hot water)
Store it in a ventilated case to prevent bacteria buildup

Since children’s mouths grow and change over time, it’s important to have their mouth guard checked at regular dental visits. Dr. Dhali will make sure it still fits properly and recommend a replacement if needed.

If your child has recently lost or gained a tooth, started orthodontic treatment, or is experiencing discomfort while wearing their guard, it’s time to come see us.
