If your child participates in sports, especially contact sports, a sports mouthguard is strongly recommended. As children get older and have all their permanent teeth, it is suggested to have a custom sports mouthguard made. Dr. Fernandez would be happy to help prevent oral trauma with a mouthguard! 😁🏈⚽️
