The benefits of joining a sports team or living an active lifestyle are innumerable. Not only does playing sports create strong bones, develop muscles, and improve cardiovascular health, it also grows friendships, aids in cognitive health and builds confidence in your child. In an age of technology when children are buried in the screens of their handheld devices, getting them outside is crucial. But, the harder your child plays, the more likely that injuries can occur and the more beneficial it is to have protective equipment.

A customized mouth guard is a key component to any child’s protective gear. Although mouth guards are required for hockey and football, your child’s teeth are at risk while playing basketball or baseball as well. Having a customized mouth guard will make wearing mouth protection more comfortable for your child, which means they’ll be more likely to use it rather than leaving it in their backpack!
