What are Sports Gumshields?
Essential protection for athletes of all ages
Hockey, rugby, boxing – these are the types of sports that need gumshields. Luckily, here at Watlington Dental Centre, we make all different coloured gumshields for all sports to prevent those unfortunate accidents.
A custom-made sports gumshield provides superior protection compared to shop-bought alternatives. It fits your teeth precisely, stays in place during activity, and allows you to breathe and communicate naturally whilst protecting your smile from impact injuries.
Choose Your Colour!
Make your gumshield uniquely yours by choosing from a wide range of colours. Match your team kit, select your favourite colour, or combine multiple colours for a personalised look. Custom colours are especially popular with young athletes who love making their sports equipment their own.
