What is a gum shield?

A sports mouth guard (also called a gum shield) is a protective device worn over your teeth during contact sports. A sports guard is designed to cushion your teeth and jaw against impact, reducing the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage.

Options include custom-made guards from your dentist and generic, shop-bought versions. Custom guards offer a precise fit and greater comfort, unlike mouth guards for Bruxism, which are designed for nighttime wear and different types of protection.

Do I need a sports mouth guard?

If you regularly play contact sports like rugby, boxing, hockey, football, or martial arts, wearing a mouth guard is essential to protect your teeth and jaw from injury.

Even in non-contact sports, accidental impact can cause damage. Dentists often recommend gum shields for added safety, especially for children and teenagers whose teeth are still developing. We believe that a comfortable, custom fit will enable our patients to do what they love with total peace of mind.
