Children and Mouthguards: Penalties, Spirit, Future

In parts one and two of this multi-part blog series, we've gone over why mouthguards are so important for children as they participate in various sports or activities. From basic mouth protection to areas like breathing, communicating and more, mouthguards often play a key role in performance - and selecting the right one is very important. 

At Damage Control Mouthguards, we offer the best selection of mouthguards available for any age group, including custom-design mouthguards that are often ideal for youth sports teams or similar needs. In today's final entry in our series, we'll go over some of the additional reasons why mouthguards are so especially vital for children as they participate in various sports or activities.

Preventing Penalties or Suspensions

In many youth leagues or sports organizations, mouthguards are now a required piece of equipment. Without the proper use of this protective device, some children may face potential penalties. With the right mouthguard in place, however, those worries can be avoided and ensure that your child is able to play with no safety issues.

In fact, some organizations will even suspend children until they have the right protective gear in place, making it all the more important to ensure that your child has an adequate mouthguard at all times.

Improving Team Spirit and Togetherness

As we noted above, our mouthguards are available in custom-design options, which can be perfect for youth sports teams or other similar needs. By having matching mouthguards, teams can show their support and togetherness while also ensuring that everyone has the right protection in place.

Custom-design mouthguards are also a great way to help promote team spirit and create more of a bond among teammates - something that's especially important when it comes to youth sports teams.

Creating a Good Future Baseline

Finally, the theme of habit creation is another key benefit of getting your child the right mouthguard. By encouraging and reinforcing good habits early on, you're giving your child a strong foundation to draw on for years to come - both in terms of sports and other activities.

Wearing a mouthguard from an early age helps create a habit that will make it second nature as they get older - and, of course, can help protect their mouth for years to come.

At Damage Control Mouthguards, we have all the options you need when it comes to providing your child with the best possible protection. From standard designs to custom-designs and even models specifically designed for braces-wearers, our selection has something that can fit virtually any need.
