Every smile deserves protection, especially during sports. At Lil’ Dente, our pediatric sports guards in Darien, CT are custom-made to shield growing teeth, gums, and jaws during physical activity. Whether your child plays soccer, basketball, hockey, or martial arts, a properly fitted mouthguard prevents injuries and gives you peace of mind. We design each guard to fit comfortably and securely, so your child can focus on the game, not their gear.
Sports guards are more than just a safety precaution, they’re a key part of responsible sports participation. Dental injuries can be painful, expensive, and difficult to treat. A mouth guard absorbs shock and helps protect against chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth, as well as soft tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, and tongue.
Store-bought mouth guards often feel bulky and may not stay in place, especially during fast-paced games. Our custom-fitted sports guards are made from strong, durable material and designed to fit comfortably so your child can breathe, talk, and perform at their best.
