Custom Sports Gum Shields in Alfreton

If you or your child play contact sports, a sports gum shield is an essential piece of protective gear. At Amber Valley Dental Practice, we provide high-quality, custom-fitted gum shields to help safeguard your teeth during sports activities. Serving patients in Alfreton, Swanwick, Ripley, Somercotes, and surrounding areas, we ensure the best fit and comfort for optimal protection.

Why Choose a Custom Sports Gum Shield?

While generic, over-the-counter mouthguards offer some protection, they often lack a secure fit, making them uncomfortable and less effective. A custom sports gum shield, made specifically for your teeth, provides superior protection by absorbing impacts more efficiently and reducing the risk of dental injuries.

Benefits of a Custom-Fitted Sports Gum Shield:

  • Better Protection – Helps prevent tooth fractures, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage.
  • Superior Comfort – Designed to fit snugly, allowing for easier breathing and speaking.
  • Durability – Made from high-quality materials that last longer than standard store-bought versions.
  • Ideal for All Ages – Suitable for children and adults involved in sports such as rugby, football, hockey, boxing, and martial arts.

Who Needs a Sports Gum Shield?

A sports gum shield is highly recommended for anyone engaging in high-impact or contact sports, including:

  • Rugby
  • Football
  • Hockey
  • Boxing
  • Martial Arts
  • Basketball
  • Any activity where facial impact is possible
