However, athletes are 60 times less likely to suffer harm to the teeth when wearing a mouth guard.

We worked closely with dental professionals to create a youth mouthguard that offers top-notch comfort and protection. Read on to learn more about why we make the best youth mouthguard for football.

Why should my child wear a custom-fitted youth mouthguard for football?

Forbes reports that the number of high school football players has been steadily dropping over the past decade. During the 2008-09 season, the USA had about 1.11 million high school football participants. However, during the 2018-19 season, there were just over 1 million players. That's a decline of over 105,000. This is happening in a time where the overall number of high school athletes is up by more than 110,000. So, why are fewer young athletes playing football?

One reason is that both parents and kids are becoming more and more concerned about injuries. Nearly 9 out of 10 parents are worried that their child will sustain an injury while playing sports. Youth athletes all cited injury as their second biggest concern about playing sports. Wearing a mouthguard that provides shock absorption may help to reduce your child's risk of experiencing a traumatic dental injury while playing football. For example, they could help protect your athlete from root fractures and tooth displacements.
