Soccer Gear

It's Time for Soccer Season —Let's Gear Up!

Soccer season is officially upon us, and whether your child is hitting the field for the first time or returning for another action-packed year, having the right gear is essential. You’ve probably already got the basics covered—cleats that provide grip and agility, shin guards for protecting those fast-moving legs, and jerseys that showcase team pride.

But there’s one critical piece of equipment that often gets overlooked: the Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™ sports mouthguard. It’s easy to focus on the visible, flashy parts of soccer gear, but protection should be a priority, especially when it comes to your child’s safety.

Mouthguards are a must-have for shielding teeth, gums, and jaws from unexpected collisions, falls, or stray elbows. With so many options on the market, choosing the right mouthguard can feel overwhelming. Do you go for the cheapest option? The one with the coolest design? Or the one that promises the most protection?

The truth is, not all soccer mouthguards are created equal. Some may be uncomfortable, making kids less likely to wear them consistently. Others may offer insufficient protection, leaving your child vulnerable during gameplay. That’s where the Kid's Comfort PRO™ mouthguard shines.

Engineered with both safety and comfort in mind, the Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™ offers a combination of durability, comfort, and superior protection. It’s designed specifically for young athletes, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit that won’t interfere with breathing or speaking—two essentials when calling for a pass or celebrating a goal!

Once you discover what sets the Kid's Comfort PRO™ apart from other options, you’ll understand why it deserves a top spot on your soccer gear checklist. Because when it comes to your child’s safety, nothing but the best will do.

What Makes the Kid's Comfort PRO™ Stand Out?:

• • • • Concussion reduction - This is an important, but controversial subject. There are no clinical trials to support the statement that a sports mouthguard will protect against concussions. One theory is that a mouthguard should dissipate and/or absorb the force of an upward blow to the jaw. It should be approximately 4mm in thickness on the occlusal surface. The Kid's Comfort PRO™ sports mouthguard has all these properties. In addition, cushioning between upper and lower teeth can be effective at reducing the incidence or severity of concussions.
      • No boiling or Impressions needed - Nobody wants to deal with the hassle or fear of molding hot plastic to get the right fit. That’s why we use advanced flex and stretch materials designed to provide a comfortable, secure fit—straight out of the box.
      • Worn over dental braces -  Our sports mouthguard does not counteract an orthodontist's technically and precisely planned movement. Therefore, preserving corrections and adjustments that your orthodontist has scheduled.
      • Protects both upper and lower teeth - Does it make sense to wear a mouth guard that only protects half of your teeth? Our unique design protects both upper and lower teeth at the same time.
      • Allows open mouth breathing - As a result of the natural spring hinge on the Kid's Comfort PRO™ allows open mouth breathing and understandable speech.
      • Comfortable to wear - Our soft and pliable, yet strong and tough materials make our mouthguard comfortable to wear. Athletes tend to wear it more consistently than other soccer mouth guards.
      • Virtually indestructible -Athletes tend to chew down the ends of commonly used hard plastic sports mouthguards, as a result, coaches and trainers are unable to determine if it is now offering protection. Our soccer mouthguard is virtually impossible to chew through. Because of its comfort, most are not tempted to remove it intermittently and therefore do not even try to chew it.
      • Latex-free and BPA-free
      • Made in the USA - With FDA-approved materials.

The Denta-Gard® Kid's Comfort PRO™ does not fall into the standard three mouth guard category types listed below:

• • 1. Stock mouth guards: Inexpensive and usually purchased at most sporting goods stores.  In most cases, you can not wear this mouth guard with braces. They only cover the upper teeth and are usually bulky, making breathing difficult. They provide very little to no protection. Therefore, dentists typically do not recommend their use.
    2. Boil and bite mouth guard: Can be purchased inexpensively at most sporting goods stores. Made of a thermoplastic material that you place in boiling water, then shape around teeth with your fingers. In most cases can not be worn with braces. Covers the upper teeth only and is usually bulky and uncomfortable. Kids tend to chew the ends down, which eliminates any cushioning benefit.
    3. Custom-fit mouth guard: Usually purchased from your Dentist, they are expensive and typically cost $300.00 and up. Consequently, to protect both upper and lower teeth, you will need to purchase two custom-fit guards.
