Custom Sports Guards for Hockey Players in Waterford, ON

Hockey and contact sports can put teeth at risk. Waterford Dental provides custom sports guards for local athletes who need a closer fit than a generic store-bought mouthguard.

To ask about sports guard fitting for your child or team, call 519-443-0100 or contact Waterford Dental.

Sports Guards for Local Athletes

A custom sports guard is made to fit the athlete’s mouth more closely, which can make it more comfortable to wear during hockey and other contact sports.

Our yearly sports guard clinic is part of our community involvement, and fittings may also be available throughout the year for families who need them.
