Hello!

I need to get my 7 year old a mouthguard for AFL and am wondering if anyone has any advice on the best mouth guards for kids. He has only lost 1 tooth so far so I’m assuming there will be more to follow.

  • Talk to the club, sometimes they offer discounts for bulk orders through the team or talk to your dentist.


  • I would head into a sports store and ask them for advice, have a look at a few, and then decide


  • Talk to the club. There are the book your own ones from the chemist, they’re around $10 but my Rugby playing OH says they can effective but uncomfortable. Professional guards if you have no extras cover are around $200 I think? At least that’s the cost at a bupa dentist.


  • Game Day Mouthguards are awesome. They send you the putty to create a mold like you’d have at the dentist and then you send the cast of your kids teeth back to them. I received perfectly fitting mouthguards back in return


  • I agree that dental technicians would be the best option.


  • We always get them fitted by a dental technician – generally they fit better and are more comfortable.


  • We went with dental recommendations for mouth guards. :)
