How great it is when kids become interested in playing sports? They get to meet new friends as well as improve their interpersonal and motor skills. However, when your child wears braces or participates in any kind of full-contact sports such as basketball, football, and even martial arts, it is recommended for them to use mouth guards. This way,we can protect their orthodontic treatment and prevent any tooth injury that may be caused by an untoward incident. Cliche as it may be, but prevention is better than cure. So, feel free to consult your North York dentist at Maxim’s Family Dentistry for your child’s mouthguard options.
