It’s estimated that over 20 million children take part in one after-school sport or another. With that amount of children engaging in sports and other activities like skiing, gymnastics, and martial arts, there is a higher chance of injury. Did you know that up to 20% of these injuries are due to fractured or otherwise damaged teeth?

Dr. Rick Alvarez can create a sports mouthguard for your child. After an impression of your child’s teeth is taken, they will fabricate a new mouthguard molded to custom-fit to their unique smile.

At Simply Smiles Family Dental in Republic, MO, we want to help keep your child's smile safe. Discover how a custom mouthguard can protect your child's teeth and help their smile last a lifetime.
