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.

How much does a gum shield cost?
At Ashbury Dental Care, we believe that protection should be accessible for everyone. Our sports mouth guards are competitively priced, with flexible payment plans available to suit your needs.

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.
