Mouth guards are essential for children playing sports. Many organized sports require them, but children don’t always wear them if they are uncomfortable. However, parents should make sure they do to protect their teeth.
If a single tooth is knocked out through a sports related accident, the treatment will involve either re-implantation with root canal therapy and possibly a crown or replacement therapy with a bridge or dental implant when your child is old enough. There may be a temporary period where your child will have to wear a removable temporary appliance until they are old enough for a more permanent solution.
