Gum shields are highly recommended to protect the upper from teeth from trauma.
There are two groups of high risk of individuals who may be susceptible to dental trauma:
- Patients partaking in contact sports (eg football, rugby, hockey)
- Patients with protruding upper front teeth
A custom fitted mouthguard is a safe, cost-effective way to protect the teeth. This is the ‘gold standard’ of mouthguards.
